​
However, following Rwandan government guidelines, and with robust measures in place, many of our tours and activities are are operating. Activities with current availability are booking now and those with future availability are expected to run as planned.
​
And we are super flexible. So it's safe to book and pay online.
​

These special terms apply to retail bookings whilst Coronavirus movement or travel restrictions apply in Rwanda or your home country. Full refunds may be delayed. Fees may apply to changing or cancelling bookings including government permits. Tour operators, please contact us for trade details.
Sustainability
​Kingfisher Journeys is an eco tour company to the core and sustainability is therefore fundamental to everything that we do. 

This means that we don't have any 'Eco-Tours' or 'Eco-activities'.

Rather, as a Travelife Engaged company, we do everything we can to make every tour that we run, every activity that we operate and every supplier that we work with as eco-conscious and considerate as possible.

​More details on this are coming soon.
Welcome to our new website...
This site is being updated with new activities, experiences, tours, guides, services and much more.

As a result, we're sorry some of the buttons may not yet work as expected and some parts of the site are still blank, but there are exciting new options coming soon.

In the meantime all activities and tours shown here with availability can be booked and will take place as planned.  

So please bear with us or contact us if you have any questions for more details.
