Perfect!
Our trip was just amazing! We saw 4 of the Big five in one way! Our guide Muhamed knew a lot about the animals.
Our stay in Ruzizi was fantastic! Just go for it! We would definitly come back!

Gorillas Trek
Golden Rwanda Safaris and their guide are excellent! My trip, with fellow 42Geeks.com members, to see a large family of gorillas (maybe a third silverbacks!) was a lifetime memory. The guide (Mico / Mitchell) was wonderful. Knowledgeable, helpful and made our trip seamless and best of quality.
Highly recommend these folks!

The most amazing safari company ever!
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.

Simply perfect !!
So much to say about this Safari.At first at the agency we were a bit confused but after a while everything went clear.Benoit took us back at the hôtel. Then we were in contact with Toufik the driver who was also our guide.What an amazing person,very professional,he answered all our questions and beyond.He knew where to go to find the different species of animals.He offered an excellent service.We spent one Night in a luxury tent that looks like a 5 stars hotel,the staff was so kind and efficient,the food was excellent and the night hearing the sounds of the Savannah was thrilling.I would do it again but i would spend two nights.
I wish everyone experienced this at least once in their life.

A Deep Dive into Rwanda
I initially came in skeptical of Golden Rwanda Safaris' all 5 star reviews - after all, it is very rare for anything to have all 5 star reviews these days. However, I can say that Golden Rwanda Safaris has met, if not exceeded, my expectations. Through a custom tour package (I selected their Chimpanzee and Golden Monkeys tour and tacked on a gorilla trek), I was able to see Rwanda's unique wildlife. I felt blessed when I saw a chimp family eating their day away in a fig tree, and I nearly broke down in tears as I witnessed gorillas in Volcanos National Park, and how they were just like us.
But perhaps the best part of the experience was making friends with my safari driver, Sufiani, with whom we talked about many things, from science and technology, to the cultures and histories of both Rwanda and the United States. It is one of those moments where you - both of us really - truly get to know how people live and think on opposite sides of the world.
I did notice some flaws however that relate to the hotels: for example, the Top View Hotel room wifi did not work properly, and the Five Volcanos Boutique Hotel had trouble with hot water. I don't hold them against Golden Rwanda Safaris since they are outside the scope of the tour company. Besides, they are still obscenely luxurious places to stay compared to my budget safari experience in Kenya the previous week where we slept in tents (let alone compared to how the locals live).
In addition, given recent events it is prudent to be mindful of the security situation in Rwanda. Sufiani had to rebook my hotel in Gisenyi due to the M23 rebel takeover of Goma the day before, and the Rwanda-DRC border remains dangerous at the time of this writing. While Rwanda remains relatively safe, and Golden Rwanda Safaris will do everything in their power to ensure your safety (e.g. the rebooking), it is a reminder that this remains a volatile part of the world.
