The most amazing safari company ever!
5/5

Working with Golden Rwandan Safari was the best decision ever. Frank was amazing to work with in planning and setting up/arranging ALL of it literally from start to finish.

Our driver/guide was Taufique...WOW..words cannot describe how he went over and beyond our expectations, from pick up at our airbnb to drop off at the airport at the end of the Safari with a few other stops per our request. Taufique made it a point to search for and help us see all our favorite animals. It was a great pleasure to spend 3 days with him driving and guiding us around and through Akagera. Taufique is your #1 guide. Very knowledgeable and experienced.

This company is the one to use for any tours in Rwanda.
5/5

I recently used Golden Rwanda Safaris for my mountain gorilla and golden monkey treks. Frank quickly answered my initial inquiry and was very helpful planning and customizing my trip, as well as answering my questions. Before I left home, I knew I was in good hands for this trip.
Muhamed contacted me before I arrived and met me at the airport. He was my guide for the entire trip to make sure I had an exceptional experience. He even picked the best porters and group for my ability level during the gorilla trek. Muhamed is a top-notch guide.
I highly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris as the pinnacle tour company for any Rwandan tours.

They make it easy
5/5

So you find yourself in Rwanda and maybe you want to see gorillas but have no idea how to proceed? That was me and I just happened to find this company on the internet. Don’t worry about anything just contact Frank and he will take care of all the details. Frank was very responsive and virtually everything he promised came true plus more… from the hotel to transportation even being able to arrange the gorilla trekking to be an easier trek. I know it’s a lot of money but this is a bucket list thing you should just do it , our driver Mohammed was more than courteous. My opinion is that you need a company to help you organize the details and if I ever come back to Rwanda or have any friends I will definitely use Golden Rwanda Safaris again. Thanks Frank and Mohammed.

Great service from start to finish
5/5

Golden Rwanda Safari were great from working with me to modify the tour to fit my interests and time, through to first pick up and drop off at the airport. Jean Claude, my driver guide, was thoughtful and attentive, providing me with useful information throughout our time together. The experiences in Volcanoes National Park were exceptional, as was the accommodation at the 5 Volcanoes. Definitely recommend, and I hope to be able to travel with them myself again soon

Best way to see Akagera
5/5

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.

: An Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Experience
5/5

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!
5/5

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!
