What We Do: Rwanda Tours
Intore Expeditions and Business Tours was conceived by Paul Karemera of Rwanda and Shelly Rosen of Seattle, Washington. Intore realized that Rwanda was missing a company that can provide an understanding of the natural beauty of Rwanda and its history as well as showcase the cultural beauty and growth of Rwanda. Paul and Shelly believe that by joining their combined love of Rwanda and their unique skill sets they can make a difference in how tourists experience Rwanda.

Paul Karemera, as an experienced Rwandan guide, had always dreamed of owning his own tour company. His knowledge, love, and excitement for the National Parks (especially the gorillas) make him an excellent guide. Paul's years of experience are an advantage for photographers that are interested in off-the-beaten path photography. For the business traveler Paul is also fluent in English, French, Kiswahili, Luganda, Kinyrwanda and is a fantastic translator.
Shelly Rosen arrived in Rwanda for her first visit in March of 2006. She says she fell in love with Rwanda from the moment she stepped off the plane. Her experience in Rwanda has been as a consultant on coffee purchasing trips and she has volunteered as a travel and event coordinator. She also has worked with youth of Rwanda in digital photography and coordinated the renovation of classrooms in a Nyamata Primary school. Shelly is the mother of teenage boys and a student of social justice and globalization, and education. She also believes greatly in the Jewish concept of Tikun Olum: "Healing the earth."
Shelly is also an American Red Cross Certified, CPR, 1st Aid and AED instructor. She can certify those that are interested in being trained.
Speaking and Education Opportunities: Shelly is a perpetual student, but also strongly believes in the power of sharing knowledge and the importance of taking time to teach the world's children. To this end, she actively talks at schools across the country on topics ranging from Genocide to Rwanda's history and Future, and speaks at various local and national conferences. If you are interested in having Shelly speak at a conference, business event or classroom, please for dates and fees.
