Tourism: Billy Ssali Explains Why Tourists Should Choose Active African Vacations

Billy Ssali, Managing Director of Active African Vacations and Founder & CEO of Self Drive Uganda, gives an overview of Active African Vacations and explains why tourists should choose the company. He also talks about international reach, as Active African Vacations covers Uganda, but also other tourism destinations such as Congo and Rwanda.

“They should choose us because of the variety of options that we provide. Those that can afford a full safari as well as those who want a private tour where we give them a vehicle and they drive themselves are all accommodated. It gives our company a wider range of choices in the eyes of a potential traveler who would like to visit Uganda. Based on our reviews and reputation, we are also considering sustainable business and sustainable tourism. This will give us an upper hand. We do not do business out of survival but out of quality service to the client. We create trust to make our clients returning visitors. We serve countries like Congo and Rwanda primarily for primates because people want to experience the comparison of different types of gorillas. Congo has lowland and mountain gorillas. Uganda also has mountain gorillas in Bwindi National Park and Mgahinga National Park. Each family has different gorilla groups so people can go for more than one trek to make a comparison on each different experience. This is a lifetime experience. You can do it once and do not know if you will come back tomorrow. Also, the active volcano in Congo makes us broaden our offerings so the client will stay for longer than a few days in those destinations. In Rwanda, there are the sites related to the genocide in 1994. Clients also come to experience the Rwandan culture, see mountain gorillas, and see the volcanoes. Dian Fossey, the American primatologist who dedicated her life to saving mountain gorillas, is featured in many travel magazines and blogs. Many people come to hike to the graveyard where she is buried in Volcanoes National Park. Some clients have asked us to create an extension of our tours to cover those areas of Rwanda”, says Billy Ssali.
