Couldn't have asked for better, Emille is a wonderful host, knowledgable and very friendly

5/5

Just finished an amazing 10 day tour with Emille and Lion Safaris. Communication was excellent and the tour surpassed our expectations. We did Kigali, Nyungwe NP, Volcanoes NP and Akagera NP. We stayed in amazing places, ate delicious foods, blended with the local people and saw the most amazing and beautiful scenery. We have fallen in love with Rwanda. The tour was excellent value and we loved that we chose a local company but importantly Emille has such a passion for his country, you simply couldnt get the same experience from a self drive. We were so sad to leave and would highly recommend Lion Safaris for your adventure to Rwanda. Emille is an experienced guide from all the parks which really gave us a perspective and insight you couldnt get anywhere else

Well organised, helpful and knowledgable local operator

5/5

Last minute trip to Kigali and we added an extra 3 days to do a 2 night safari in Akagera at the last minute. Lion Safaris responded well, answered our questions and took the last minute booking as an opportunity to offer good value (unlike other organisers). They are an operator and not just subcontracting to others which can sometimes lead to problems.

They suggested a night at Kerenge bush lodge (much more luxurious than it sounds) and a night at Ruzizi Lodge which would allow us to see more of the park. This worked out very well with the north part being more savannah and the south bush and scrub.

Their driver picked us up in Kigali with their vehicle, a Toyota pop-top (essential) and stayed with us in Kigali until late on our third day as we had a late flight out. We felt very safe and his knowledge of the park and the animals greatly added to the trip. They also arranged a boat trip and a night safari, both excellent.

Lion Safaris are a highly recommended local operator.

New Rwandan friends!

5/5

I started planning my trip with Emile. He was so accommodating as I had to change the usual way for the trip I took. He sent a driver for me who was excellent! Emile was so good at communicating with me through what’s app. He was patient , kind, informative, thourough, and professional. He chose Iris to drive me.
Iris was so easy to talk to. He had wonderful English and explained many things to me about his country. He was very knowledgeable and could answer all my questions. He was fun too! We laughed about things! After the golden monkeys trip he suggested I see the Dian Fossey Museum which was excellent. We also stopped at some small shops so I could pick up a few gifts for home.
I will definitely call Lion Safaris my next time to Rwanda!!

Great!

5/5

Emil is reliable, kind, and energetic. Would recommend! It’s a smaller company so may not have many reviews right now, but he’s looking to expand & we had a great experience with him!

Joel was awesome

5/5

We went to akagera park with lion safari and it was so great and a lot of fun. Joel, our tour guide knew all the good spot and a lot of facts about the animal. We saw over 40 elephant!! Emile, the owner, made sure we had a good time. I recommand to book the safari with lion safaris for a great experience.
