They make it easy
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.

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!

Amazing Akagera Experience
Golden Rwanda Safaris and our guide, Abouba, made sure we had an amazing Akagera experience. We camped 2 nights in the park, they planned everything, helped us rent sleeping bags, provided drinking water and even helped us start a fire each night. Abou was a very knowledgeable guide who made our safari unforgettable and I would highly recommend him.

Gentle and helpful
We had the daily tour in Akagera National Park. Everything was amazing! The experience was incredible thanks to our guide Mr. Taufique and his professionalism. Definitely worth the money!

Very efficient!
We took Golden Rwanda Safaris to visit the Akagera National Park, the King's Palace in Nyanza, Nyungwe National Park, and Lake Kivu. In the beginning, we were skeptical about the fees to pay. However, during the entire visit, we had an enjoyable experience. The service was excellent, the communication was clear, and the guide was kind and did his job well. We could learn many things about Rwanda thanks to the Golden Rwanda Safaris.

Well planned trip with experienced operator/guide
This is my first time to Africa and Rwanda - and I couldn’t be happier to travel with Golden Rwanda Safaris. Frank has been a delight since the beginning; answering my questions and giving me tips when it comes to packing for the safari. He’s always responsive, even when Rwanda was having its commemoration for the genocide.
I was lucky to travel with Taufique, who is friendly, fun and quick-witted. My hiking boots broke twice during a hike and he was able to quickly find a place to have it fixed, and made the rainforest trek to chimpanzees possible. Taufique is also determined and patient, when we’re in the safaris trying to spot all Big 5s and the other animals.
I truly enjoyed my time in Rwanda - the hotels, restaurants that they booked were superb, the car that they used is new and well stocked with drinking water, and the itinerary was well paced and not rushed. Recommended and hope to be back again!

Incredible adventure
Recently visited Rwanda for 4 days to see gorillas and golden monkeys. Amazing experience. Mico took care of everything from A to Z for us, was very knowledgable and did his best to ensure we had great time. Highly recommend this trip, it really is fantastic adventure.
