Why the name Bricks Travels?
The name Bricks Travels derives from the idea to convey individual travel modules, the so-called "Bricks", from which our customers can put together their own personal trip in a modular way.
Why book with us?
At Bricks Travels we want to inspire the world for a different way of traveling. Hence, the idea arose to offer modular trips made up of individually configurable travel modules in order to make trips more personal, more sustainable and more authentic.
​
We use our many years of professional experience in the tourism and sustainability sector to provide our customers with a safe, unique, tailor-made travel experience tailored to their needs.
​
We not only provide exclusive travel experiences, but also share our knowledge of the destinations and share our experience.
​
Because we lived on-site in East Africa for more than three years, we were able to build strong partnerships with our local partners. It is important to us to personally know every guide who goes on safari with our customers. We have visited most of the accommodations we offer several times ourselves and know the managers or owners. Also, in the meantime, we know the national parks like the back of our hands.

«My passion for tourism was awakened by several stays abroad and continues to grow with every trip to less touristy destinations. Experiencing the coffee production from the picked bean to the ready-to-drink pleasure at the side of a Ugandan farmer is an experience that is deeply rooted in the heart.»
More than ten years ago, Lisa was drawn into the tourism industry. Since her studies, she has gained a lot of experience in this industry at home and abroad. ​Lisa has been living in Uganda since the beginning of 2021 and travels regularly to the Bricks Travels destinations to ensure proximity to local partners.
