Albertine Tours

Albertine Tours is a Kigali-based East African tour operator running birding and wildlife safaris across the Albertine Rift, with a particular focus on Burundi, a country that remains thinly covered by international birding operators. Their flagship Burundi itinerary is a four-day circuit targeting Kibira Forest and the country's wetland and lake-edge habitats, with around 600 species recorded nationally and several Albertine Rift endemics in play. Beyond Burundi, the company extends into Rwanda (Nyungwe, Akagera) and Uganda, packaging multi-country Albertine Rift trips for visiting birders. The operation pitches itself as a specialist for travellers who want serious birding access to one of the harder-to-reach corners of the rift, paired with the more conventional Rwanda gorilla-and-Nyungwe programme.
