OUR STORY

About Us

Kamaroutes was born out of a dream: put the African continent on the global tourism map while making tourism beneficial to local communities. We know you might have read something similar somewhere else: so many operators started with the same goal but not as many were able to keep our people’s interests at heart. Indeed, although our continent has opened up to the world, it is painful to see the people directly impacted by the growing tourist activity rarely get something out of it.

Kamaroutes is still a growing brand, but we intend to remain amongst the travel companies that actually care and give back to Africa. Please click here to learn about some of the projects we are currently involved in with our partners.

“I would like Kamaroutes to be known and remembered as a tour company founded by an African, Black woman, in times where being African, black and a woman was seen by many as a disadvantage.”
