Rift Valley Expeditions - African Based Travel Specialist – Spain

Rift-Valley is a team of travel specialists who share a common passion for the unexplored places on the African continent. We have offices in Addis Ababa, Entebbe, Cotonou, Arusha, Libreville and Nairobi and a commercial office in Madrid, Spain. Our headquarters are located in Barcelona, Spain.

From the last nomadic tribes in Angola and the gorillas in the heart of Uganda or Gabon, to Voodoo ceremonies in Benin, camel treks through the Danakil desert in Ethiopia and observation of the big five in Tanzania, Rift-Valley offers an approach which is as professional as it is efficient. This approach is both flexible and personalized, based on a deep knowledge of Africa, its different cultures, nature and history, and we are, therefore, able  to design tailor-made itineraries with a genuine touch which is only possible due to the first-hand knowledge of our team of African and European experts.  

Rift Valley’s DNA also has the organisation of guided tours by an expert (author trips). We offer culture, photography, nature, anthropology, trekking, etc. Some of the most iconic places on the continent which we visit are: the Churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia, the pyramids of Meroe in Sudan, the Akaka jungle in Gabon, the isolated ethnic groups in Angola or Mundari ethnic group in South Sudan.

Being a responsible DMC is at the heart of what Rift-Valley is all about. We believe in minimizing the impact on the diverse cultures, communities and environments we interact with, along with a serious commitment to socially conscious, grassroots-style travel, and this has driven us on throughout our tourism projects from the very first day we started in 2012.

For this reason we work with local communities in order to develop responsible touristic opportunities which the local economies can benefit from.

We are a team of African enthusiasts as well as specialists in responsible tourism, and we all share a passion for the unexplored parts of the African continent. We are committed to the belief that well-managed tourism is the key to protecting and maintaining the delicate natural ecosystems, the cultural diversity and the traditions.
