We are members of safarigo.com, SafariBookings, SafariDeal, YourAfricanSafari, and many more sites around the world.

We appreciate your trust when booking with us. In return we assure you that: 

  • As a Travelife Partner, we recognise that the world is facing a climate and nature emergency, so sustainability is fundamental to everything that we do. Kingfisher Journeys is an eco-tour company to the core.
  • We also take our responsibility to operate socially responsible travel seriously. This means that we create real jobs, treat our own staff and partners fairly and ensure that our actions prevent harm to children and others who could be exploited.
  • We pay fair wages to our staff, support their pensions, maternity cover, health schemes and pay all local taxes in Rwanda. This sometimes means that our prices have to be a little higher than paying cash to a local supplier, but it’s the right thing to do.

​There are generous discounts on many of our activities for Rwandan citizens, foreign residents in Rwanda and all staff and volunteers of local not-for-profit organisations based in East Africa:

  • Citizen and resident rates show in the checkout.
  • Not-for-profit discount codes can be obtained from your office or by applying to us in advance.
