Ritah Amanyire
My name is Ritah Amanyire and I am the founder of 56Africa Tours. I was born and raised in Fort Portal in western Uganda, a town that recently achieved city status. My love for travel began from the desire to tell stories through video and an interest in showing people the beauty that surrounds me in my home country Uganda. I would like to think that growing up in Fort Portal, a tourism town contributed greatly to my love for nature, wildlife and the outdoors. I grew up surrounded by the Rwenzori Mountains, the beautiful crater lakes that I visited with my family at a very young age and driving through Kibale Forest with my dad as we headed to the village for Christmas holidays. I always looked forward to seeing the Olive baboons in the forest and as a child that excited me very much. It’s from this love for nature and interest in documenting travel stories that I decided to start a tour company dedicated to bringing people into the world around me so that they also can experience it and leave with memories that they will keep for a life time.
My East Africa destination knowledge grew extensively when I worked for one of the tour companies in Uganda after completing my Undergraduate Degree. I have expert knowledge on Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Tanzania so I recommend and plan the best because I know the best! I work with our team to put together itineraries that meet the travel needs of our clients and organize tours that meet our sustainable travel policy.
