Meet Richard, your host, driver, and travel companion for the 15-day adventure through Burundi and Rwanda. A native of Burundi, I have extensively explored East African countries like Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania. With a passion for good food, wine, and music, I look forward to becoming a friend throughout and after the trip.

I'm passionate about groups travelling and exploring new places. The essence of life for me lies on the road, meeting remarkable individuals, engaging in vibrant discussions by a campfire or under the sunset, and relishing the excitement of adventure. During our journey, accommodation options include a delightful guest house and Airbnb. If this resonates with you, reach out without hesitation.
