Best way to see Akagera
This is really great value for money. If you have the chance, go with Jean Claude. He is the nicest person and he really goes the extra mile to make sure that you have the greatest experience possible - and that you see as many animals as possible. Fully recommend booking with Golden Rwanda Safari.

Amazing experience
My tour had a great mix of activities and brought me to some of the most beautiful places in Rwanda. My guide, Abu was knowledgeable, super friendly and was able to accommodate all my specific requests even at short notice - This made my tour feel special and customized to my liking.

: An Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Experience
I had the absolute privilege of going on a gorilla trekking adventure with Golden Rwanda Safaris, and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From start to finish, every aspect of the tour was impeccably organized, ensuring a seamless and stress-free journey.
The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and professional. Their deep understanding of gorilla behavior, habitat, and conservation efforts added so much value to the trek. They made sure everyone in the group felt safe and comfortable while navigating through the dense forest terrain.
The trek itself was breathtaking. The moment we encountered the gorilla family was indescribable—watching these majestic creatures up close in their natural habitat was both humbling and awe-inspiring. The guides ensured we maintained a respectful distance while allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience.
What stood out most was the company’s commitment to responsible tourism and conservation. Knowing that part of the tour proceeds support local communities and gorilla conservation efforts made the experience even more meaningful.
The meals provided were excellent, offering a perfect blend of comfort and authenticity. Every detail, from transportation to permits, was handled with great care, leaving us free to focus on enjoying the adventure.
I can’t recommend GOLDEN enough to anyone considering a gorilla trekking experience in Rwanda. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to sustainability set them apart. This journey will stay with me forever!

Very friendly, well organized!
Booking via internet was so easy and smooth. I had a very welcoming and friendly contact via mail and later on by WhatsApp, what made it very easy to get connected.
I booked two tours with Golden Rwanda Safaris, both were touching (Genocide Memorial Tour) and magic (one day Akagera National Park Safari). Really nice tour guides who had time to answer all questions and were eager to find the best places and animals :-)
Thanks again so much! I really enjoyed the time with you and will take home so many good memories!

Trip of a lifetime in Africa
Fantastic 2-week trip in Africa split between Kenya and Rwanda.
Focused mostly on animals.
The trip in Kenya was absolutely marvelous with the assistance of Beverly. We went to Samburu to start then Masai Mara in a conservancy. The hotels selected were absolutely gorgeous especially basecamp leopard hill.
Then we spent 9 days in Rwanda. A country I strongly recommend. People were so welcoming. We were accompanied by Mico our guide who made his best to satisfy our requests and needs. We spent a lot of time together driving and it was very entertaining.
The hotels were great. The highlight was definitely the gorilla trekking.
We spent 2 nights in Kigali and it is worth it. I could have spent more time there.
I think it is important to specify your briefing and needs ahead to make sure the trip is what you want. In Rwanda there is a lot to see also from a historical point of view.
The only thing I would have liked is to discover more things in Kigali beyond touristic places. For example, there are a lot of craftsmanship workshops to support women empowerment that I would have liked to explore.
Overall a fantastic trip.

honest transparent trustworthy
Mr Frank of Golden Rwanda Safaris was great to communicate with. He was frank in his assessment of our travel wishes and was upfront and honest and fair with everything; our driver Abou is very jovial and easy to talk with. We had a great time in varied conversations on our drives. It was an amazing experience and all the accommodations were excellent as were the foods and services. We highly recommend Governor's Residence in Kigali as well as Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel. The foods and services and rooms were all excellent. We felt they were good values! We would trust Frank and Golden Rwanda Safaris to help craft a trip of a lifetime. Abou was an awesome driver guide! What a wonderful trip thanks to Frank, Abou and Golden Rwanda! It is a beautiful country with wonderful people! A special encounter with a gorilla family among the Rwanda hills is something to treasure forever!

Our tour operator was very organized and easy to get along with
We had a group of 6 on a safari that was excellent. Golden Rwanda safaris was very responsive on WhatsApp and able to accommodate us on short notice. The food was great (especially breakfast) and the safari was also successful with our group even seeing a lion.
