Focus on Ecotourism
Wildlife, Wild Lands & People
For the last 20+ years, our Co-Founder Richard has worked with several leading wildlife organisations in East Africa, including the Born Free Foundation in Kenya, the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund in Rwanda and the Jane Goodall Institute in Tanzania, designing specialist conservation-based travel itineraries.
In 2013 Richard introduced the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund to Craghoppers, a specialist outdoor clothing company. This introduction led to Craghoppers becoming a corporate partner of the Fossey Fund and donating complete outfits for all their field staff. Richard is very proud that Craghoppers continues to provide the Fossey Fund team with uniforms, helping them to protect the mountain gorillas.
More recently, Travulous has been working with the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) as their preferred travel provider in Rwanda. Our conviction to support wildlife conservation coupled with our knowledge of East Africa was the key reason for the distinguished selection by these organisations.

“The wild creatures I had come to Africa to see are exhilarating in their multitudes and colors, and I imagined for a time that this glimpse of the earth’s morning might account for the anticipation that I felt, the sense of origins, of innocence and mystery, like a marvelous childhood faculty restored”
— Peter Matthiessen, 'The Tree Where Man Was Born'
