At Tavira Africa Safaris, we believe exceptional journeys should create meaningful benefits beyond the traveller. Through our Africa Gorilla Tours , Wildlife Safaris, East Africa Safaris and Gorilla Trekking Tours, we aim to connect memorable travel with responsible tourism and meaningful community impact.
Our Africa Gorilla Tours take travellers into some of East Africa's most extraordinary natural environments while helping tourism create opportunities beyond the safari itself. Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park is one of the region's most important gorilla trekking destinations, while Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park offers another remarkable mountain gorilla experience.
Every journey also supports the wider tourism economy through professional guides, driver-guides, accommodation teams, local suppliers, craftspeople and other people whose livelihoods are connected to responsible tourism.
A portion of the proceeds generated through our Wildlife Safaris, Africa Gorilla Tours and Gorilla Trekking Tours is intended to help support meaningful community initiatives and people in need in the areas where we operate. These efforts may include educational needs, essential supplies, vulnerable families and locally identified priorities.
Travellers can experience this approach through journeys such as our Rwanda gorilla trekking safari or our gorillas, chimpanzees and Big 5 safari .
“When tourism grows, the communities connected to tourism should have the opportunity to grow with it.”
