Everything that I had hoped for -- excellent 1 day tour of Akagera and introduction to Rwanda
Every aspect of the tour provided by Frank and Golden Rwanda was excellent, from our pre-trip communications, early morning pick-up, travel to/through/back from the park, and follow-up. This was my first (solo) trip to Africa and first safari, and Frank provided detailed and thoughtful historical and cultural perspectives on the rides to and from the park. We spent the whole day (~6-7 hours) traveling the length of the park and were able to spot and spend significant time observing almost all of the hoped-for animals (... elephants, giraffes, various antelopes, hippos, zebras, crocs, great birds -- but saving the rhinos and lions for my next trip!). Frank and Daniel, our local guide within the park, were experts at spotting animals on the horizons and shared their extensive knowledge about every aspect of the park. We spent plenty of time waiting for camera shots to develop and I never had a feeling that we needed to move faster or rush an experience. The Land Cruiser was very comfortable throughout the trip and got us through the park, including a brief afternoon downpour, with ease.
When I go back to Rwanda, hopefully with family in tow, I look forward to doing another tour with Frank -- it was an excellent experience and I would not hesitate to recommend their services.

The whole day was perfect! Picking me up in time! Safe journey to & through the park! Amazing time!
The guys from Golden Rwanda Safaris are great! Especially Frank Kanymutara! He is not only smart and a very good driver! He is as well very funny! Last time in Rwanda he was recommended for driving to Kirinda during rain season. This was great too. The cars are always good cars and very clean! Frank is always taking care of his clients as well as of the cars. This year we had a great time in Akagera Park. We spotted almost every animal. From beautiful birds, loads of impalas, buffalos, zebras, elefants, giraffes, warthogs, monkeys, hippos and finally we saw a leopard in the tree. This was amazing as he was relatively close to our car. At the end I can only say "Thank you Frank! We had a wonderful day! And for sure - we will be back and call you to guide us again!"

Amazing Experience
We had 2 spare days in Rwanda and decided to do a safari in Akagera National Park, after recommendations from Golden Safaris. From the initial contact with Frank from Golden Safaris, he was helpful and accommodating. He tailored a trip to suit us and the number of days we had (2). It definitely lived up to, and exceeded our expectations. Our guide Jean Marie was so lovely and knowledgeable. We were lucky to see 3 of the "Big 5" animals, along with many others. I couldn't have asked for a better trip!

Weekend in Rwanda was great!
Golden Rwanda Safaris is a great company. They were very flexible and offered us the exact trip we requested with very short notice. We were able to squeeze in all we wanted to see in Rwanda in one weekend even mixing things in at the end. The guides are very knowledgeable about the wildlife as well as all things Rwanda. The only thing I would recommend is to find out ahead of time the best gear for your activities, however, I'm sure the company will gladly inform you if asked. I was not ready for the colder weather or the muddy hikes, but in the end it everything worked out fine.

Amazing team for an amazing safari trip *_*
It was our first safari experience and I truly think that using Golden Rwanda expertise was the best thing that could happen to us. The organization is on point, the guide is caring, the car is comfortable, the park is awesome, the animals are present all the way long! I felt like a little girl for 7 hours, thanks again for the wonderful souvenir!

A perfect day in Akagera National Park - Highly Recommended Tour Operator
We did a one day trip from Kigali to Akagera National Park for a Game Drive. This trip could not have been better. Not only way the guide and driver excellent, very friendly and knowledgable, also the car was top notch. I'm glad we booked Golden Rwanda Safaris for this unforgettable experience, making this even more memorable. The communication and booking process was also very positive. Highly recommended.

Great experience, really serious !
The 3 drivers were at time to the hotel to kigali (4:30 am).
the cars were so confortable (and fun) for the 12 hours on the road.
we were 19 persons with 3 cars.
This experience to Akagera park was very great, we saw lots of animals but no lions and elephants.
Franck had planned everything !
Very communicative and professional

First class organisation, service, destinations and vehicles!
Our trip to Rwanda and the DRC was in limbo after the kidnapping in Virunga Park. Golden Rwanda reorganised a full itinerary that no-one else was willing or able to make. Frank himself toured us around beautiful Rwanda; to the Gorillas, Golden monkeys, Chimpanzees and to places off the general tourist map. He introduced us to local cuisine and told us the history and general lore of both countries. He organised excellent guides to safely explore the DRC; the Lowland Gorillas, the Bonobos, the markets and more. If you are looking for more than what the general safari agency can provide, then Golden Rwanda is for you!
