Greg Bak­un­zi worked as a Rwandan tour organ­iser and guide for vari­ous inter­na­tion­al tour oper­at­ors for many years before start­ing Ama­horo Tours in 2002.

In 2013, Mr Bak­un­zi foun­ded Red Rocks Rwanda, an eco tours com­pany and social enter­prise to “bring under-served com­munit­ies into the tour­ism sup­ply chain and sup­port com­munity devel­op­ment pro­jects that help people help themselves”.

Greg later foun­ded the not-for-profit Red Rocks Ini­ti­at­ive for Sus­tain­able Devel­op­ment as a home for all the non-com­mer­cial activ­it­ies that Red Rocks Rwanda was doing, and to “integ­rate tour­ism, con­ser­va­tion and sus­tain­able com­munity development”.
