Reimagining Your Rwanda Journey

Visiting Rwanda is on more and more travellers’ bucket lists – and our beautiful country fully deserves the attention. From rolling green hills to misty forests and tranquil lakes, Rwanda is one of Africa’s most fascinating destinations, and we look forward to showing you around.

Rwanda is known as one of the safest and cleanest countries in Africa, with good roads, reliable infrastructure and quality accommodation. This makes it a very comfortable and reassuring destination, especially for senior travellers from Western Europe who value safety, organisation, and calm, well-planned travel.

Around 80% of our travellers are visiting Rwanda for the very first time. That’s why we specialise in tailor-made tours packed with local insight – combining Rwanda’s famous highlights with quieter trails, authentic cultural encounters, and hidden gems you won’t find in a standard guidebook.

Our goal is simple: to create unforgettable Rwanda experiences while guiding you through the whole process – from the first idea to the last airport drop-off. Whether you dream of gorilla trekking, scenic hikes, wildlife safaris, or slow travel through village life, our Rwandan team designs each itinerary around your pace, interests, and comfort.

Based in Kigali, Rwanda Hillsome Trails offers a wide range of day trips and multi-day journeys across the country. You can choose one of our crafted itineraries or contact us to build a fully customised Rwanda adventure with your own private guide and vehicle.
