Perfect organization of an extraordinary experience in Rwanda
Our initial plan was to do a round trip of Rwanda on our own, i.e. without using the service of an agency. In theory, this is be possible but after being there, I'm glad that we decided to go with a local agency.
I can't be more happy for choosing Hermosa Life Tours & Travel (HLTT) for our trip. They created a customized trip for us which included a 2-day safari in Akagera NP, a chimps trek in Nyungwe NP and an epic gorilla trek. Yvonne was answering all my questions within very short time and accommodated all our special requests. Our guide Damascene was very knowledgable and keen to show us his beautiful country. Despite knowing that it's a common practice, I felt a bit uncomfortable to pay the full amount upfront ( a common practice for safaris) but HLTT delivered an exceptional service and went way beyond our expectations.

Golden Monkey Trekking
A day trip to Volcanoes NP from Kigali is a day that starts bright and early. At 4:30 AM my driver was waiting for me at the hotel reception and after an enjoyable 2-hour drive we arrived at the Briefing Point of Volcanoes NP, where we were treated to some free coffee before we were divided into groups of 20-25. From there on we drove to the starting point of the hike. The hike itself wasn't too long and definitely isn't a difficult one. People who need some help can get a walking stick and also hire a porter to carry their backpack. After 25-30 minutes of walking through the countryside, where our guide paused from time to time to provide us some information, we arrived at the bamboo forest. Before we got to the golden monkeys we were told to wear a face mask, which makes sense since we share so much DNA with these monkeys and disease are easy transmittable. We then got 1 hour with the monkeys and that hour flew by. The monkeys are everywhere around you and the guides give you the opportunity to walk around to admire and enjoy the monkeys. They sure look cute. The only thing they ask you is that you don't stand under a branch with a monkey on it (to avoid getting peed on). I truly enjoyed my time with these monkeys, especially the plenty of young monkeys that play and climb everywhere. After more or less an hour with them we took off our masks and walked back to the starting point where my driver was waiting for me. Also important to know is that you are already back in Kigali in the early afternoon (2-3 PM). Thanks Hermosa Life Tours and Travel for providing me this opportunity to get in touch with these amazing animals I didn't know even existed a few months ago.

Rwanda is fantastic, all made possible by the incredible Hermosa Life Tours and Travel company!
We had a fantastic trip to Rwanda expertly organised by Oreste and Yvonne at Hermosa Life Tours and Travel. I can't more highly recommend this company enough. From the booking process, the range of tours, the communication, the small details and the tour guide (ask for Patrick, he is one of the nicest invididuals you will meet, and ever so informative about Rwanda, the Gorillas and is great on Safari too)! Rwanda is a beautiful country. We did Gorilla trekking, volcano trekking, a Kigali tour and a 4 day Akagera safari, all of this was organised by Hermosa. Their accomodation choices are good and the vehicle you will be transported around in is modern and spacious. If you go to Rwanda, go with Hermosa. They didn't put a foot wrong with our trip. 5 Stars!

Highly professional, inviting and truly able to elevate the experience
Our guide Augustin stood out like a shining star amongst the other guides to at we met along the way. He was connected, funny, intelligent and interested in sharing both his country and learning about ours.
Not a question went unanswered and we both fell in love with the country and its people with Hermosa Life Tours and Travel being right in the center of that trip for us. Oreste and the team helped us to put together a trip that was right for what we wanted to see, do and our budget and boy did it deliver. These guys are professionals and would hold their own anywhere in the world. How lucky they are to have a beautiful country like Rwanda as their backdrop

Super friendly, professional, and committed to providing incredible and memorable experiences.
I went on the 2 day tour to Akagera National Park and had the most incredible time! My guide, Patrick R, was wonderful - he was so knowledgeable (he knew the name of every single bird I asked about, and taught me all about the different animals too), friendly, professional, and passionate about his work. The trip itself was fantastic - the landscape was magnificent and we saw everything from black rhino to leopard to zebras to elephants. Hermosa are a great company and provided me with a really memorable and special experience, I would highly recommend them :)
Very dedicated and competent personnel
The four men that drove and accompanied us during three days were excellent. Educated, generous and dedicated. Things worked very well. I was grateful.
