Meet Ruan.

The Person Behind Your Journey.

Murwa was created to combine the convenience of an organised tour with the personal experience of private travel.

Why Murwa Exists

Something Between a Crowded Bus and Doing It All Alone.

Murwa was founded by Ruan Nortje after repeatedly seeing two kinds of travellers in Kruger: people packed into large groups racing from one place to another, and independent travellers trying to navigate unfamiliar places without enough local support.

He saw room for something more personal — a private journey where the important travel details are coordinated, but the experience still feels like your own.

Ruan holds a Professional Hunter qualification and brings familiarity with the South African bush environment to Murwa experiences.
