Meet Dianah Umukunzi

Founder & Travel Curator

Born from a love of Rwanda and a life shaped by travel, Beyond Borders Travel was created to help you experience meaningful places, thoughtful planning, and genuine connections. Based in Kigali, I plan every trip with firsthand, on-the-ground knowledge of Rwanda.

Having studied tourism and lived across different countries and cultures, I've learned that travel isn't really about the destination. It's the memories you create, the people you meet, and the stories you bring home.
