An awe-inspiring experience!
Truly a once in a lifetime experience and the team exceeded my expectations. They were very responsive to my WhatsApp messages ensuring that all of the details were taken care of. We requested to make a change to our itinerary while on the ground and the team worked hard to accommodate us. It was much appreciated! Our guide Mico was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He made sure that everything went smoothly and all we had to do was relax and take in the incredible experience. Thank you for enabling us to create such amazing memories! We would recommend your services to anyone traveling to Rwanda!

Best Rwanda Tour Guide
I highly recomment Golden Rwanda Safaris for your visit to Rwanda! From my booking request, they provided fast responses, helped with any questions, and customized my tour as requested. There was clear communication the whole process and no problems.
My tour guide, Taufique, was passionate, knowledgable, and friendly my entire visit. He really strived to make my visit in Rwanda the best possible! He is one of the best tour guides I have had!

Thoughtful, service minded and a good organiser
The 6-day trip organised by Golden Rwanda Safaris for me and my father was a great experience to a beautiful country. The schedule, which was "tailor made" to our demands, was well planned for us to experience all the facets of the country, while at the same time allowing for time to fully embrace each different place along the way. In terms of service and hospitality, the offering was sublime, and thanks to our with guide's flexibility and consideration, we were able to visit nice spots for lunch/coffee-breaks/etc. in between the planned activities as well. Finally, our guide was great company, sharing facts and telling stories about the different visits along the way.

Best trip and tour experience ever!
This was the best 2 week trip ever! We travel extensively and we were amazed by this tour company. The owner Frank did a super job customizing our 2 week trip to fit in the Chimpanzee, Colobus, Gorilla, and Golden Monkey Treks, 4 nights in Akagera, and so much more. Our driver guide, Sufiane, was amazing. They worked together to make changes as needed based on our needs. He made sure we could get awesome photos and had a great time. We had fantastic and comfortable accommodations, incredible food, and felt very safe. Using them was the best decision ever. We can't wait to go back!

Friendly, flexible...fantastic
From first contacting owner Frank to research trip options a year before travelling, to bidding a fond farewell to our great guide Tarfique at Kigali Airport we had a fantastic experience with Golden Rwanda Safaris. At every stage it was easy to contact Frank via email and he answered all my various questions politely. We booked the 12 Days Rwanda Safari Adventure, having agreed that we would alter the scheduled itinerary in a couple of places so that it best met our wishes. Prices were competitive, but the service from Frank gave me greater confidence to book with Golden Rwanda. When we arrived at Kigali Airport, Tarfique was waiting for us and we began what was like a trip with a well-informed, local friend. We had a great time, chatting and laughing with him, while at every stage of our tour Tarfique checked how we were feeling and what we wanted to do. We made more changes to the itinerary as we travelled round the beautiful country, having a wonderful experience. Although the National Parks organise the various primate treks, Tarfique ensure we had places on an easier gorilla trek due to my wife's mobility and we had a brilliant solo trek to meet colobus monkeys in Nyungwe which made that even more magical than the chimpanzee and golden monkeys treks that we did in small groups. Boat trips on the lakes of Kivu, Iheme and Rehondo (one of the itinerary changes we made) were wonderful too. Hotels we stayed in were described as mid-range, but were all great and varied from the gorgeous setting of Ruzizi Tented Camp in Akagera to the 5 star smoothness of Serena hotels in Kigali and Gisenyi. At all hotels the staff were very friendly and cheerful - but special mention to the lovely team at Ruzizi who made our stay there super special. All in all a dream holiday with Golden Rwanda Safaris and a big tick off our bucket list!

An incredible experience
I visited Akagera with Golden Rwanda and had an incredible experience throughout. Frank communicated clearly and promptly, and was flexible on arrangements. It was very well-priced compared to competitors and the itinerary for Akagera was great to maximise time on game drives.
Taufique was a super guide on the day - very communicative, punctual, patient, and professional. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and had amenities like a fridge and plugs for charging. Taufique had a great eye for spotting animals, and I was very pleased with what I saw! Meals included were good too

True luxury, excellent organisation and communication, highly reliable and very friendly.
We had a truly great experience from the pickup at the airport to the drop-off on our last day. Everything was perfectly taken care off, the hotels (Governor's Residence in Kigali and Five Volcanoes at the national park) were wonderful and our hikes to see first the gorillas and then the golden monkeys were amazing. Food and service were very good and the little extras such as fresh water bottles in the extremely clean and tidy car, gaiters for the hikes and a foot massage and shoe cleaning after each bike provided for a feeling of luxury. Very good value for money! Would highly recommend choosing this tour operator.

Very Professional - Golden Rwanda Safaris
Golden Rwanda Safaris are very professional. They have excellent guides, that are knowledgeable and experienced. They will give you lots of information, and safety is their top priority. Guide Taufique was the best, he was helping other guides in the park as well.
