In a trailblazing move stirring the adventure tourism industry, Augustine Tours, with its 13-year legacy in the travel and hospitality sector, has recently introduced a breathtaking 7-day trek across three iconic East African nations: Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi. This new venture aims to enthral nature enthusiasts, history aficionados, and discerning globe-trotters seeking insight into the area’s diverse wildlife, captivating landscapes, and rich cultural tapestry.

Inspired by Saint Augustine’s words, “The world is a book, and those who don’t travel only read one page”, the tour company is curating an unforgettable journey, bringing the book of the world alive in its vibrant, life-affirming chapters. The company’s latest expedition offers an edifying exploration beyond traditional African wildlife safaris, delving deep into local histories, cultures, and breathtaking natural beauty. The cherry on top? The exhilarating Gorilla trekking experience in Uganda’s Bwindi National Park.

“Since its announcement, the 7-day Gorilla trekking tour has been swarmed with inquiries, especially for the summer season from June through September, and we anticipate more until December,” remarked Augustin Ndikuriyo, CEO of Augustine Tours. With their renowned expertise in crafting seamless tour plans, Augustine Tours assures an unparalleled safari vacation experience that will not just fulfil, but exceed, the expectations of seasoned tourists and first-time African explorers alike.

The tour, which runs throughout the year, offers an incredible panorama of the region’s rich wildlife and the distinctive culture of its people. Starting with a warm welcome at Kigali International Airport, travellers will embark on an insightful city tour, which includes paying homage at the Gisozi genocide memorial – a humbling testament to the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi. The journey further unfolds to offer a thrilling gorilla trekking experience in the mesmerizing Bwindi mountain forest.

The expedition continues by exploring the illustrious heritage at Nyanza King’s Palace, followed by a serene drive to Bujumbura, allowing a tranquil walk on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. The surreal beauty of Karera waterfalls, a glimpse of the source of the Nile in Rutovu, and a fascinating visit to the Gitega national museum to admire its unique collection of Burundian artifacts, add further depth to the journey. The tour concludes with a visit to Rusizi National Park, where tourists can spot hippos and an array of birds during a delightful boat journey.

Augustine Tours was founded eight years ago by Augustin Ndikuriyo, a pioneering figure in African tourism and digital marketing strategy. Under his leadership, the company has swiftly blossomed, spreading its roots onto European soil within a decade. Catering to a significant surge in interest from European tourists, Augustine Tours inaugurated a new office in Germany in 2018, aptly named Augustine Tours-Europe.
