Fantastic Tour
Tony is a great tour guide, and just a really nice person in general. He's passionate about Rwanda and Kigali, and we learned so much while having a great time and seeing the best that the city has to offer.

Amazing in every way!
From the very first contact with Frank and Golden Rwanda Safaris we have been treated with excellent professionalism, service and great hospitality. Our whole experience in Rwanda from Kigali, to Nyungwe national park trekking with Chimpanzees, to our relaxing stop at the beautiful Lake Kivu and final stop at the Volcanoes national park has been just fantastic. Above all expectations. Not only is Rwanda and its nature and wildlife one of the most exciting we have ever come across, but the people we’ve met along the way have been so friendly.
It was a blast to hang out with Frank on this journey! You can easily see his huge commitment to make your experience the absolut best, and the passion he puts into every detail. Noting is too complicated. And its all about the teamwork. It’s not difficult to understand why everyone along the way knows him and welcomes you with big smile. We had so much fun and we will never forget our interesting conversations, laughs and all the magical endangered animals we had the chance to meet during our trip. Thank you, it was a dream come true! We look forward coming back.
When you visit Rwanda we highly recommend you to book your tours through Rwanda Golden Safaris!

Delightful
I was fortunate to chance upon Golden Rwanda Safaris and book my trip to the Virunga National park through them. I had opted for the Virunga Classic tour and Frank was in constant touch with me ensuring that all the papers were in order.
Liza who accompanied me from Kigali made sure of my transfer to park authorities on the DRC side after which the whole tour was nothing short of an adventure. I was picked up once the tour was complete and Liza managed to help me pick some souvenirs at a discount on my way back for which I will be ever grateful.
I would highly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris to anyone looking to travel to the Virunga.

Daylong safari in East Rwanda + week of business in Kigali
Frank and his team are dedicated, knowledgeable safari operators and city drivers.
We were given a comprehensive and laid-back safari tour, going this way and that, and thanks to Frank’s keen eye we spotted some rare sightings and were able to get up close and personal! Awesome!
We were in Kigali on business and after our one day off (our safari), we enlisted Golden Rwanda Safaris as our drivers for the remainder of our business trips all over the city. They know Kigali perfectly and are super easy-going.
Thanks to them we had a fantastic and successful trip to Rwanda.
Thanks so much!

Always way above our expectations
First contact with Frank was easy and profesional.Frank understood exactly what we wanted and built up the entire safari for us. All planned visits and tour were perfeclty organized. Accommodations were outstanding and always well located.
All of this worked perfectly thanks to our guide Jean Claude who has been very professional with a perfect knowledge of all the places we went to. Jean Claude is probably the best ambassador of Rwanda in Rwanda. The entire Golden Rwanda team deserves your confidence.

Great experience
I went on a tour with Golden Rwanda completely by chance as I was attending a conference in Rwanda and a fellow conference attendee invited me to join her. She was far more prepared than I was, and had researched various tour operators thoroughly. I was very happy with her choice. Golden Rwanda Safaris is a small local company, but they do tours all over Rwanda and the surrounding countries. We ended up staying in Rwanda, spending a 1.5 days in Akagera national Park, (where we saw so many animals, including lions, hippos, impalas, giraffes, zebras, baboons, buffalo, elephants, warthogs etc). Seeing lions was theoretically the most exciting because they were introduced in the past few years from South Africa, but I prefer seeing the colorful animals (zebras, giraffes) and the more active ones (baffoons & impalas).
We had two separate guides for the two halves of our trip (Frank and Fabrice) and both were terrific, both on the trip logistics and also the wildlife. I enjoyed chatting with them and learning about their stories and Rwanda as much as I enjoyed the wildlife.
Note on gorillas: I was too stingy to pay $1500 for the gorilla permit in Rwanda, too scared to explore going to Congo, and permits were all gone in Uganda ($600) because I was literally looking for them the same week. However, the company arranges gorilla treks in all 3 countries and they assured me that Congo was safe for tourists. In the end, I'm very happy with the company and my trip :)

Amazing Experience
Frank is an excellent tour guide, punctual, knowledgeable and honest and quotes very reasonable prices compared to the experience. We went to Akagera and he had very good eye to spot the animals, he had great knowledge of the park. Very good experience with Golden Safaris, definitely recommend.
