Hutland Travel is the realization of a lifelong passion for African travel, born from the experiences of its founder, Martin Grey. Though raised in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Martin’s early years were marked by extensive journeys across Asia, Africa, and Europe. Immersed in diverse cultures and breathtaking landscapes, he developed a deep appreciation for the transformative power of travel.
Driven by this vision, Martin dedicated himself to creating a travel company that would showcase the magic of East Africa while upholding the principles of responsible tourism. He sought out and collaborated with like-minded individuals – passionate local experts, conservationists, and community leaders – to build a team committed to delivering authentic, enriching, and sustainable travel experiences. Hutland Travel was thus founded on the belief that tourism could be a force for good, fostering cultural exchange, protecting natural heritage, and empowering local communities.
Hutland Travel was born from a deep love for East Africa and a desire to share its magic with the world. Founded in 2016 by Martin Grey, our journey began with a vision to create authentic and responsible travel experiences that connect travelers with the heart and soul of the continent. Over the years, we have grown into a team of passionate experts, committed to providing exceptional service and crafting unforgettable memories for our guests. Our commitment to sustainable tourism has been a guiding principle from the beginning, shaping the way we operate and the partnerships we forge.
