Testimonials
Rickshaw was outstanding in its services to my family while we were organizing our trip to Kenya and Tanzania. Everything in the final itinerary went according to plan. The tour operators, the drivers, the hotels, and the ground personnel were truly AWESOME! I just wish we could have had the same service in Uganda! (not arranged by Rickshaw).

Tanzania
Tanzania is among the few countries in the world endowed with such a vast range of tourist attractions. Tanzania’s land area of about one million square kilometers is covered with magnificent game reserves and national parks located in the Northern and Southern parts of the country. Tanzania is also a home to Mt. Kilimanjaro, commonly referred to as the Roof of Africa. Kilimanjaro rises about 19563 feet above sea level. It is the tallest mountain in Africa and the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. The miles long silver sand beaches and the rich historical site of the spicy islands of Zanzibar are yet another attraction that Tanzania is blessed with.
-
Kenya
Kenya, the land where safari was born, also known as the cradle of mankind, is a land of unashamed splendor and great contrast. No other country on earth can offer the visitor as much to see and do. Within the borders of a single country, you will find savannahs rich with big game, timeless cultures unchanged by the modern world, pristine beaches and coral reef, equatorial forests and mighty snow-capped mountains, searing deserts and cool highland retreats and endless opportunities for adventure, discovery, relaxation and more
-
Rwanda
Rwanda is a lush country of endless mountains and stunning scenery, and nowhere are the mountains more majestic than the peaks of the Virunga volcanoes in the far Northwestern Rwanda. In Parc National Des Volcans, the volcanoes form a natural frontier with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Uganda, and hidden among the bamboo and dense jungle of their forbidding slopes are some of the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas. It is the opportunity to encounter these contemplative creatures at close quarters that continues to draw visitors to Rwanda.
-
South Africa
South Africa boasts a huge collection of wildlife regions and game parks - both public and private - encompassing every possible landscape from deserts to forests, mountains to coast, teeming with wildlife species - including Africa’s Big 5: Leopard, Lion, Buffalo, Elephant and Rhinoceros. Exotic combinations of landscapes, people, history and culture offer the traveller a unique and inspiring experience. It’s mix of third and first world cultures - along with the best and least crowded beaches.
-
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe offers a large variety of scenery, one of the African continent’s finest and largest concentrations of wildlife. Places of interest include the Victoria Falls (one of the seven wonders of the world), Hwange National Park, Kariba, Gonarezhou National Park, Eastern Highlands, the Great Zimbabwe Monument, and Nyanga.
-
India
India never ceases to amaze tourists who come here from across the globe. Laced with glorious culture and breathtaking attractions, India is a dream destination for all seasons. Ayurveda and Spa tourism is one of the fastest growing segments today in India.

Mozambique
Mozambique is one of Africa’s rising stars, with an upbeat atmosphere, overflowing markets and a 2,500km coastline waiting to be discovered. In the capital city of Maputo, you are never far from the coast and visitors to the City can enjoy the refreshing sea and modern restaurants.
-
Botswana
Landlocked in the center of Southern Africa with an impressive biodiversity comprised of both desert and wetlands, Botswana's tourism is a growing sector due to the country's conservation practices and extensive nature preserves. Its capital city Gaborone, although small by world standards, has the usual facilities of any modern capital city.
-
Maldives
The Maldives lies in two rows of atolls in the Indian Ocean, just across the equator. The country is made up of 1,190 coral islands formed around 26 natural ring-like atolls, spread over 90,000 square kilometers. Maldives has deep blue seas, turquoise reefs, white sandy beaches and palm trees. It is also a place full of character, where its people have long spent their days languishing in the very essence of idyll living.
-
Europe
Whether it's scenary or heritiage, Europe has it all. The continent leads the world in fashion, art, music, architecture and design. If it's scenery you want then there are the fjords of Norway, scenery of the Scottish Highlands, the volcanoes of Iceland, the Alps in France, Switzerland and Italy to name just a few. There are beautiful beaches in Spain, Portugal, Greece and Croatia. Travel by train, car or fly. The possibilities are endless.
-
Far East
Ancient tradition and hi-tech modernity live side by side in the Far East, a place where orange-robed Buddhist monks may be found tending the pretty garden of their temple, in the shadow of a gleaming new skyscraper. Discovering the different cultures of this region is a fascinating experience - and in places such as Singapore, the lively mixture of contrasting cultures is itself the attraction.
-
Mauritius
As a tropical holiday destination, discover Mauritius. The Island of Mauritius, off the east coast of Madagascar, is a contrast of colours, cultures and tastes. Enjoy the white beaches, the landmarks, festivals and much, much more.
-
Zanzibar (Tanzania)
The Island of Zanzibar lies just off the coast of Tanzania in the Indian Ocean. Besides the cultural diversity, the narrow streets of Stone Town, and timeless Dhows in the ocean, Zanzibar is all about relaxing... or not. Sunshine, white sands, crystal clear turquoise water that is warm - what else can you ask for? It's paradise.
-
Namibia
No matter what your taste in travelling, Namibia has a variety of destinations and activities to suit your style. Not to mention its culture, cities and villages.
