Since its inception in 2010 in Kampala by the Kenyan-born Rwandan safari guide Prince Sabena, Redroad Tours has dedicated time and effort to understand Uganda’s travel and tourism ecosystem, Rwanda, Kenya, and Tanzania. Redroad Tours was spawned in reaction to three pain points that seemed to trouble Uganda’s travel industry then; limited professionalism, limited diversity of activities, and complacency. We set out to be a local DMC focused on providing fulfilling travel excursions based on five core pillars; safety, excellence, diversity, sustainable tourism, and professionalism from day one.
A decade of experience has equipped us with a firm understanding of the needs and expectations of visiting tourists and the understanding of how to execute authentic and wholesome travel experiences consistently. Over time, our reach has grown far and wide, with a local presence in all of East Africa’s major destinations.
We are a DMC that specialises in providing bespoke safaris and experiences for FITs and groups. However, cultural immersion and off-the-beaten-path activities are the signature features of our safaris. In the spirit of sustainable tourism, we provide access to wildlife populations, places, plants, and people.
For so long, the mantra, “This is Africa,” has been used to brush aside the poor service and unsatisfactory conditions travellers have to contend with while visiting the region. At Redroad Tours, we are driven by professionalism and excellence in everything we do. We are alive to the fact that attention to detail is what separates the good from the great. All our tours thus are a cumulative effort of planning, organisation, and careful execution in every aspect.
We go beyond our contractual call to create unique experiences for our guests. While safaris are what we do best, we work hard to enhance our guests’ experience by providing alternative experiences such as cultural immersion tours and off-the-beaten-path adventures. Our goal is always to surpass our guests’ expectations and help them connect with the destination deeper, in a more meaningful way.
Uganda is our origin, but we now have a local presence in all the major cities of East Africa. Being native to East Africa gives us a unique understanding of our destination and creates responsible, sustainable tourism and authentic travel experiences for our guests.
Our guides are no ordinary safari guides. They are leaders in their communities, hand-picked for their love of people and passion for the country. Our guides are rich in knowledge and experiences that tell the story of our motherland in a context that puts travellers at ease and helps them feel right at home.
The four East African countries are timeless goldmines endowed with mild weather, diversely limitless landscapes, and wildlife. With our passionate and experienced team, you as a travel professional can send your clients to Uganda with ease, knowing that we’ve got you fully covered. From product management, providing price quotes, to dedicated account managers and guides proficient in English, German, Dutch, among others, and extensive marketing material including pictures and videos, all at your disposal to enhance your knowledge and expertise.
Our reach and expertise encompass all of East Africa’s major destinations. From the Maasai Mara to Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda, from the white sand beaches of Zanzibar to the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We have boots on the ground working hand in hand with local communities and suppliers to create unique, meaningful and sustainable tourism experiences for your travellers to explore.
We believe what makes East Africa special is the charm of her people. Some of the friendliest people on the globe are found in East Africa. East Africa is home to hundreds of ethnicities with diverse cultures in diverse landscapes. We are eager to immerse our guests in our culture.
Even though we pride ourselves on providing alternative experiences, a wildlife safari is still what we do best. Our safaris are tailored to the needs of our guests, from popular bucket-list destinations to immersive off-the-beaten-path experiences.
For us, travel is one of the best tools for enhancing the lives of both host and visitor. Our programs provide the opportunity for personal and community development for our hosts. We work with local communities to create unique cultural immersion experiences that don’t take advantage of their circumstances but empower them. As a result, our guests get to take part in local natural settings that allow them to connect with the destination intimately.
Our trained team comprises tourism enthusiasts who understand sustainable tourism – the importance of offering a fulfilling service without jeopardising the sustainability of the destinations or compromising the sanctity of the host communities.
