A great game drive!
This tour was very professional! Frank was a great guide and I had so much fun learning about the animals and driving around to find them. The service was great, on time and everything was advertised perfectly. The communication was great and easy to coordinate! Highly recommend!

Friendly & reliable services for individual travelers during our 12 day Rwanda tour
Just completed a 12 day tour of Rwanda/Uganda, organised by Golden Rwanda Safaris. Thank you so Much Frank B. Kanyamutara and your team for your professionalism!
We spent 2 of the 12 days in Uganda to see the gorillas with the rest of the time travelling around Rwanda.
Golden Rwanda Safaris were quick in answering questions we had regarding possible tours, including budget and type of activities we were interested in.
We were originally going to climb Mt Nyiragongo in DRC but this was not viable shortly after we booked the trip due to security concerns. Golden Rwanda Safaris offered a different hike as an alternative in Rwanda.
Our trip went incredibly smoothly from the outset with zero issues. This surprised me actually. We were in good hands our guide (Emile). We paid the money via their online payment gateway and needn't have bothered with caution really. We paid the final installment during the trip.
Our trip included:
Gorillas ( Rwanda & Uganda), Batwa pygmy Community (Uganda), Golden monkeys
Mt Bisoke hike, Visit to 2 cultural centers (Iby'iwacu), One day at Gisenyi (including boat ride), Chimps at Nyungwe, Nature walk + Canopy walk at Nyungwe, Couple of game drives and a boat ride in Akagera
If I were to do it again I would try to do gorillas in Rwanda (looks easier) even with the higher cost
Only go to one of the cultural centers if pressed for time.
It is very important for me to find reliable service providers while travelling, especially if I am travelling by myself. Three years ago, Golden Rwanda Safaris helped me get to the National Park in Uganda, Musanze and back to Kigali in a very efficient and uncomplicated way. Now back in Rwanda, they helped me in the same friendly and reliable manner -with very short notice! Thank you Golden Rwanda Safaris Tours for assisting me again.
I had indeed a marvelous stay in the National Park and surroundings.

our 11 days Combined Rwanda and Uganda (Easy booking process, Great Service, Knowledgeable Guide)
Our guide/driver Jean Marie Kagaba is one of the best. He spent several days with us taking us through our stops in Rwanda and Uganda. He speaks multiple languages and is well connected with the vendors and establishments. Jean Marie far exceeded our expectations of a guide/driver. Their equipment (They took us in First car Toyota Land Cruiser, of course) was well maintained and clean. what I like mostly was Booking process, they have e-payment and you pay by either Debit or credit card and it become very useful us while we don't like to carry money and also reducing Bank transfer charges. high recommended they e-payment system. can't thanks enough Frank and Jacky from my initial contact.
During our 11 days trip to Rwanda to see the mountain Gorillas but Jean Marie Kagaba’s professionalism and expertise meant we got so much more than we expected. He is rightfully very proud of his country, the government and what they have achieved in 20 short years since the genocide. He was always punctual, informative, answered our hundreds of questions with good grace and was relaxed and cheerful throughout. If we go back to Rwanda we will definitely use GOLDEN RWANDA SAFARIS . Thank you so much.
All-in-ll a wonderful trip and would definitely recommend entrusting your safari to this company.

Wonderful!!!!
It was great from the pick up at Hotel to the Park. The Team was friendly and professional. Especially Jean Claude who was a very dedicated Guide. He did all what he can to make me comfortable. I have seen Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, Hippos, buffalo, hyenas, zebras etc... It was more than expected. I recommend it

Frank will take care of you.
From communication to the actual game drive in Akagera Park, Frank was very helpful. The tour itself was fantastic. We had a guide with us who was very familiar with the local wildlife and could answer any questions we had. Frank took his time on the drive, even doubling back for missed picture opportunities! He made the tour as memorable for us as he could. There was never a "drive them around and get done" attitude.
If you are planning a trip to any of the countries Frank conducts business in I highly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris. He made our trip a most memorable one for my daughter and I.
Thanks Frank!

Had a wonderful day at Akagera with Frank.
Had a lovely day with Frank at Akagera, able to see many beautiful animals and Frank was always sure to give us plenty of time with them and try to get the best angles/distance for good pictures. The arrangements were hassle free and we even got to have a nice breakfast at the game lodge. I would travel with Golden Rwanda Safaris again.
