Efficiency, professionalism and organization at the top !

5/5

I wanted to go on a safari in Rwanda. I contacted Lion Safaris. Emile, the manager and also guide, immediately answered all my questions and requests with a lot of patience. I chose the 8-day Safari option, but the agency offers many other options. The organization and timing where perfect, whether for accommodation, transport, visite, or trekking. I had the honor of being guided by Emile, perfectly french-speaking, always concerned about my well-being and I spend an intense week, rich in knowledge about Rwanda. In a word.... Amazing !!!

Lion Safaris creates thoughtful, incredible, unforgettable experiences

5/5

Emile was communicative and thoughtful from designing the trip to actually driving us around Rwanda.

Everything - from the animal experiences to the lodges we stayed at, food we ate, and even bathroom stops - were top notch.

Emile himself is gregarious and knowledgeable - ready to do what it takes for his clients to see what they want and learn about the history and flora/fauna of Rwanda. If you're a birder - he'll make sure you pause for every kite and roller and heron!

Flexible guide, Incredible experience, 10/10 recommend!

5/5

My family and I spent 8 days with Emile (founder and owner of Lion Safaris) traveling through Kigali, Nyungwe, Volcanoes, and Akagera. I have lived in Rwanda for 5 months, and spent a lot of time finding the best company - and Lion safaris ended up coming up to the number one spot.

First, Emile: He was incredible. Very knowledgeable, personable, funny, and quite honestly the best guide I've encountered (having been on trips in many other countries as well). We always felt safe and informed with him, and his experience as a guide in Akagera and having been in the business for 17 years really paid off.

Second, the trip: Our trip was amazing. Emile booked the best hotels for us, and the process was seamless. The parks are amazing, the experiences are once-in-a-lifetime, and I was really impressed with Rwanda as a whole. While I've lived here for several months, this was my first time traveling extensively outside of Kigali and I cannot express how incredible this place is.

If you are on the fence about booking this tour, reach out to Emile. It was worth every penny.

Emile was the best (knowledgeable, patient, kind, caring - an overall generous guide)

5/5

10/10 would recommend!!

We had an excellent trip, all made possible through Emile and Lion Safaris. We didn’t have to worry about any of the logistics or the driving. The places we stayed were excellent. The food was top notch. I feel like a showed up, got to look at animals, and was very well taken care of. We got to see chimpanzees, gorillas, rhino, giraffes, elephants, hippos, baboons, and many more, all in their natural habitats. I felt safe and didn’t have to life a finger for more than a photo.

If you’re looking for the perfect African adventure, look no further.

Excellent attentive service

5/5

Dany our driving was amazing. He was kind, would check on our wellbeing. Extremely knowledgeable about the game park, and the animals. Willing to go that extra distance to find the animals we hadn't yet seen.
We would definitely chose to go back with this company.
