Excellent service. Very professional people
I had an amazing safari experience with Golden Rwanda Safaris. I had a rhino walking tour. My guide Bosco is a very knowledgeable guy,he did his best to find the animals and to give me the best information. I had a great time with him. I would definitely recommend to do any tour in Rwanda with Golden Rwanda Safaris. Great service!

Excellent tour, nice and kind driver, good services
We reserved a one-day trip to the national park. It was really fantastic. We saw zebras, giraffes, birds, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, elephants, a leopard, and many other animals. The driver was really nice and experienced. We really enjoyed the tour, and I am willing to re-visit Golden Rwanda Safaris when I will re-visit Rwanda.

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.

Golden Rwanda Safaris was outstanding from A to Z. Every aspect was wonderful.
We spent three days/nights in Akagera National Park in the lush green of the November wet season. Golden Rwanda Safaris took great care of us from pick up to drop off. The selection of accommodations was fantastic; the Akagera Game Lodge was wonderful and the Karenge Bush Camp was "glamping" of the best kind -- superb food and service all along. Most important, our guide and driver Bosco was kind and knowledgeable and very committed to doing a great job. Because of his good decisions, we saw elephants, giraffe, lions, hippos, impala and an amazing array of birds etc., all just feet away. The night drive is highly recommended -- as long as you don't mind watching lions catch and eat a zebra. The boat tour of Lake Ikema was also a treasured experience, so many birds and scary crocodiles. So much fun and Golden Rwanda Safaris and Bosco made it happen.
Best way to see Akagera
This is really great value for money. If you have the chance, go with Jean Claude. He is the nicest person and he really goes the extra mile to make sure that you have the greatest experience possible - and that you see as many animals as possible. Fully recommend booking with Golden Rwanda Safari.

A reliable, trustworthy, friendly, efficient company
I did the 5 day tour visiting the gorillas, Akagera NP safari and Kilgali. From the initial communication via email to the actual tour everything was just spot on! It really was a trip of a lifetime and I would highly recommend Golden Rwandan Safaris. My driver Claude is such a gentleman, has great knowledge of Rwandan nature and is the best guide! To actually visit the gorillas is such a privilege and the local people are so proud of them!
