When it comes to launching into an African adventure,
there’s something truly magical about experiencing it through the lens of a
female-led safari. Imagine traversing the lush landscapes of Rwanda,
encountering majestic wildlife, and immersing yourself in the vibrant
culture—all while being guided by passionate women who are breaking barriers in
the field of tourism. Welcome to Judith Safaris, where women’s empowerment
meets exploration.
Who Are We?
At Judith Safaris, we’re not just another tour operator. We’re a movement—a celebration of resilience, equality, and the unwavering spirit of Rwandan women. Let’s dive into what sets us apart:
All-Female Team:
Our company is proudly run by women drivers and guides. From the moment you step into our safari vehicle, you’ll be in the capable hands of young women who know these lands intimately.
These trailblazers are not only experts in wildlife tracking and cultural insights but also ambassadors for gender equality. They’re rewriting the narrative, proving that women can thrive in traditionally male-dominated fields.
Authentic Connections:
We believe that travel should be more than ticking off a checklist of tourist attractions. It’s about forging genuine connections—with the land, its people, and your fellow travelers.
Our young female guides share personal stories, introduce you to local artisans, and create moments that resonate long after your safari ends. Whether it’s sipping Rwandan coffee with a village elder or dancing to traditional drum beats, authenticity is our hallmark.

The Judith Safaris Experience
Let’s paint a picture of what awaits you:
Gorilla Encounters in Volcanoes National Park
Imagine trekking through mist-shrouded forests, heart pounding, as you approach a family of mountain gorillas. Their gentle eyes meet yours, and suddenly, you’re part of their world.
Our guides lead you to the Agashya family—one of the largest gorilla families—with 25 members and 1 silverback. Witness their playful interactions, chest-beating displays, and unwavering respect for the alpha silverback.
It’s not just a safari; it’s an intimate connection with these endangered giants.
Nyamata Memorial Center: A Heartfelt Tribute
Nyamata Memorial Center stands as a somber reminder of Rwanda’s painful past. Here, over 45,000 lives were lost during the 1994 genocide against Tutsi.
Rows of clothes—once worn by those who perished—tell stories of resilience and hope. As you walk through, you’ll feel the weight of history and the urgency to say, “Never again.”
Our guides provide context, allowing you to honor the memory of those who suffered and celebrate Rwanda’s remarkable healing journey.
Akagera National Park: Where Wildlife Roams Free
Akagera National Park beckons with its sprawling savannas, shimmering lakes, and abundant wildlife. Lions, zebras, giraffes—they all call this place home.
Our one-day safari takes you on a thrilling game drive. Spot a lioness on the prowl, witness a herd of elephants at the water’s edge, and marvel at the grace of antelopes.
