Our Destinations

Rwanda is where our roots run deepest—a land of misty mountains, ancient rainforests, and resilient spirit. Here, you can track endangered mountain gorillas through the emerald depths of Volcanoes National Park, trek the canopy walkways of Nyungwe, or cruise quietly across Lake Kivu’s glassy surface. It’s a country of transformation—rich in biodiversity, culture, and soul. With Wild Sage, you’ll experience Rwanda’s wild side with intention, depth, and local connection.
Uganda is East Africa’s best-kept secret—a lush, life-filled wonderland where the savannah meets the jungle. Whether you’re encountering chimpanzees in the rainforest, gliding through the Nile’s papyrus channels, or standing on the rim of a volcanic crater, Uganda delivers the unexpected. It’s raw, rich, and utterly real. We’ll take you beyond the guidebook to meet the people, places, and wildlife that make the “Pearl of Africa” shine.
Kenya is the original safari dream—where golden savannahs stretch endlessly and elephants march below the snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya. But it’s also where cutting-edge conservation meets deep-rooted cultural traditions. Whether you’re seeking out the Big Five in the Maasai Mara or sipping chai on a quiet conservancy, our Kenyan journeys are about meaningful connection—with land, wildlife, and community.
Tanzania is vast, wild, and unforgettable. From the caldera of Ngorongoro to the Serengeti’s thunderous migrations and the spice-scented alleys of Zanzibar, it’s a land of contrasts and legend. Trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro or unwind on a remote island—Tanzania is about scale and soul. We curate experiences that blend adventure and luxury, always grounded in sustainability and local wisdom.

Conservation is at our Core

Every Wild Sage journey is designed with care for the land, wildlife, and people who call this region home. From ethical gorilla trekking to low-impact stays in exceptional lodges, we help keep East Africa extraordinary for generations to come.
Travel that Gives Back

We partner with local communities, grassroots initiatives, and conservation projects so your journey creates lasting impact. Every trip supports livelihoods, celebrates culture, and strengthens the connections between travelers and the people and places they visit.
Local Leadership

A great guide doesn’t just lead the way—they shape the entire journey. Our trips are led by locals who know the land deeply, share its stories with heart, and reveal places and moments you’d never find on your own. Their passion and personal connection are what make every Wild Sage journey unforgettable.
With you every Step

From your first email, throughout your journey, to your final farewell, you’re in direct contact with the people planning and guiding your trip. No middlemen—just real conversations, flexible planning, and thoughtful support from people who are on the ground and invested in every detail.
Off the Map

We take you beyond the usual routes to places that still feel wild—crater lakes tucked beneath misty hills, remote rainforest trails, and villages off the tourist track. Share stories with rangers, meet wildlife vets, or visit a celebrated chef on a lakeshore surrounded by volcanoes. Each journey has quiet moments of unexpected magic.
Luxury in the Experience

Luxury means many things—but for us, it’s all about access and authenticity. It’s being welcomed into a guide’s favorite hidden spot, sharing a meal at someone’s home, or discovering a local gem you’d never find on your own. It’s passion-led travel, handcrafted moments with care you’ll feel in every detail.
Stories Worth Taking Home

Our journeys are designed by locals and long-time residents who truly know the land, the culture, and the hidden corners worth exploring. We believe in uplifting local voices, empowering women, and supporting the guides, makers, and small businesses that make East Africa truly shine
