The Amasimbi
Story

Immersive journeys into Rwanda’s
Culture, history, and everyday life

AMASIMBI Tours was born in the heart of Rwanda from the dream of a young Rwandan woman who wanted the world to see her country through honest eyes and an open heart. Growing up surrounded by the beauty of our hills, wildlife, and traditions, we carry the passion, courage, and determination of a new generation of Africans.

To us, travel is more than simply visiting places; it is about deeply feeling the people, the culture, and the unshakeable spirit of a nation. From our breathtaking landscapes and mountain gorillas to the local food, music, and histories passed down through generations, we invite you to not just look at a destination, but to truly become a part of the story

How are primate and wildlife trekking permits secured?

We manage 100% of the procurement behind the scenes. Because primate tracking permits for forests like Nyungwe and Gishwati-Mukura are tightly regulated and strictly limited to protect the wildlife, our team handles the coordination directly with the authorities. We highly recommend booking your journey a few months in advance so we can guarantee your slots seamlessly.

Rwanda is a magnificent year-round destination. For the easiest hiking conditions along the Congo Nile Trail or primate tracking in the rainforests, the dry seasons (June to September and December to February) are ideal. However, traveling during the greener months offers incredibly lush, dramatic landscapes that are perfect for people who love beautiful natural scenes.

Our journeys are designed to be fluid. For instance, the Congo Nile Trail can be experienced as a high-endurance multi-day cycling challenge, or we can isolate specific, gentle lakeside paths for a scenic morning stroll. We tailor the pace, elevation gains, and support vehicles entirely to your physical comfort, ensuring the experience is rewarding, never exhausting.

It means you are fully taken care of from the moment you step off the plane. Your custom itinerary covers all premium ground transit, dedicated native guides, conservation fees, national park permits, handpicked accommodations, and local community immersion experiences. We manage the clock and the logistics quietly in the background so you can remain entirely present.

The key is versatile layering. For savannah game drives in Akagera, lightweight, neutral-toned clothing is best. For the montane rainforests of Nyungwe and Gishwati-Mukura, you will need sturdy, broken-in hiking boots, long trousers, and a lightweight waterproof jacket to protect against thick undergrowth and sudden rain showers. A comprehensive, minimalist packing checklist will be provided to you upon booking.
