My name is Richard and I'll be your host, driver, travel partner and, I hope, a good friend during and after the trip. I was born and raised in Burundi, but currently live in Kenya. I have traveled and vacationed in most of East African countries (Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania). I love spending time with friends and sharing good food, wine, and music. 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.

Our accommodation options are thoughtfully curated to enhance your overall experience. You'll have the choice of staying in a delightful guest house, where charm meets comfort, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Alternatively, for those seeking a more personalized touch, I've also arranged Airbnb options, providing a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture and lifestyle. Whether you prefer the warmth of a guest house or the authenticity of an Airbnb, both choices are designed to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay. Don't hesitate to reach out and let meknow your preference, as we're here to make your accommodation experience as delightful as the adventure itself. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!
