Our Story: A Dream Born in The Volcanoes
Hope Tours Africa was founded in 2020 by Eric Sabi, a Rwandan tourism professional raised in Musanze, the gateway to Volcanoes National Park Rwanda.
Growing up near Rwanda’s gorilla habitats, Eric witnessed travelers arriving from across the world to experience mountain gorillas. Those early encounters sparked a lifelong passion for tourism and conservation.
During family travels across Rwanda, that passion deepened. However, the goal was always clear: to share Rwanda responsibly.
For this reason, Eric pursued professional training in climate-friendly travel, ensuring that Hope Tours Africa would create positive and lasting impact from the very beginning.
Our Experience & Expertise
Eric’s professional journey in the tourism industry began in 2012. Over the past decade, he has worked across multiple sectors of Rwanda’s tourism ecosystem, collaborating with:
Local and international tour operators
Hotels and lodges
Community-based tourism initiatives
He also worked with the Rwanda Chamber of Tourism, contributing to the development of sustainable tourism policies at a national level.
This hands-on experience allows Hope Tours Africa to deliver Rwanda safari experiences that are well-organized, culturally informed, and environmentally responsible, while meeting the expectations of international travelers.
Our Values & Commitment to Sustainable Tourism
At Hope Tours Africa, our work is guided by three core pillars:
