RouteWise exists to help everyone — visitors, the diaspora, and Rwandans themselves — see more of Rwanda, understand it more deeply, and enjoy the journey along the way.
Rwanda is one of the most beautiful, safe and welcoming places on earth — but exploring it still means juggling maps, blogs, WhatsApp tips and cash. We're replacing that with one companion that plans your trip, guides you live, teaches you the language, tells you the stories, and lets you book and pay locally. And because it's gamified, it turns exploring into something you actually want to keep doing.
Rwanda welcomed 1.49M visitors in 2025 and earned $685M from tourism — and nearly 8 in 10 travelers plan their trips on their phones. Yet there's no single, modern, local app that ties discovery, navigation, culture and payments together. RouteWise is built to be exactly that.
Made in Kigali, for Rwanda first — with real Kinyarwanda, local payments, and homegrown pride.
Exploring should feel like play. Gamification isn't a gimmick — it's how we keep people curious.
Offline-ready, data-light, and fast on the phones people actually carry.
Travelers discover more; operators and communities earn more. Growth that's shared.
Every journey is a chance to learn — the language, the history, the stories behind each place.
Nail the model at home, then bring gamified exploration to the wider region.
Join the waitlist, or if you're an operator, institution or investor, let's build this together.
