The tour operators were very professional, friendly and organised and overcame every problem.
5/5

The operators were very responsive and the tour was very well organised with a very punctual pick-up at the hotel. My guide Werther was amazing. He overcame every obstacle that came up including a busted tire and a cancelled boat ride due to rain in Akagera National Park. He quickly found solutions and alternatives and I saw an elephant, a rhinoceros, lions and many more animals. I lost my voice at the beginning of the tour and my guide found a pharmacy and worked wonderfully around my inability to speak. I would definitely book with this company again.

Well informed and passionate tour guide of Rwanda
5/5

Great experience for a two-day tour around Volcanoes National Park (golden monkey trekking), Lake Kivu and Nyungwe National Park. Emmanuel was very organised which allowed the tour to go smoothly throughout. He was very knowledgeable about the country and provided ongoing explanations on the culture, history and geography of the country. It was good value for money given the amount of attractions we got to see across the whole country. I would recommend the tour provider to anyone visiting Rwanda!

Amazing and very well organised trip
5/5

We took time out from our business trip to Kigali from UK to visit the gorillas.
The experience of booking the trek with New Horizons was made so easy with timely email replies from Emmanuel to answer all of our questions.
Emmanuel was a great guide arriving to collect us exactly when he said. We had interesting conversations about Rwanda and he answered lots of questions. We felt very safe travelling with him in spite of some demanding terrain to get to our trek starting point. The trek to the gorillas was amazing. A trip we will remember forever.
Thank you New Horizons.

10/10 experience, hospitality, knowledge
5/5

My brother and I visited Rwanda and went to Volcanoes National Park to see the mountain gorillas, spend a day in Kigali and do a day safari trip to Akagera National Park. New Horizon Africa Safaris did an incredible job being our drivers + tour guides for our entire 4 day trip.
The mountain gorillas were obviously incredible. A total bucket list item that everyone should experience once in their life! But our guides took our experience in Rwanda to the next level.
They were extremely kind and welcoming. They were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our entire Rwanda experience even better than expected. From taking us to the best restaurants to try the local cuisine, to finding a fun banana beer making experience to showing us little hidden shops with well priced souvenirs, there isn't anything they couldn't do. Their hospitality and warmth is unmatched and they created such a memorable trip for us!
If you're thinking of visiting Rwanda, definitely reach out to new horizon. You will not be disappointed. I've been raving about Rwanda and this company nonstop to anyone who will listen <3
Thank you so much for an amazing trip :D

A well organized, serious operator
5/5

Communications:
Initial response via SB was quick. Subsequent exchanges also quick.

Service:
Agreed times respected

Value for money:
These things cost, regardless of operator, what is for me a lot of money. That said when I considered the time and cost and aggravation of organizing and conducting such a tour independently, it seemed that I was paying a fairly reasonable premium for having everything taken care of for me. Having a driver who is familiar with the territory and the driving culture was much more efficient, and probably safer than me driving myself.

Tour:
My two days in Nyungwe were fantastic, I got to hike several trails and see the highlights. However, I must point out the value brought by my NH guide, Emanuel: He really took care of everything: Driving, finding good places to eat, knowing where to take good photos even spotting wildlife along the way. He was consistent and reliable throughout. Beyond that, he is an educated and thoughtful individual who was able to answer my many questions, without fail. He really made the trip for me.

Great 2 day Chimpanzee trekking tour!
5/5

We had an amazing 2 days with Emmanuel. The 2 day Chimpanzee trekking tour allows you to get a little of everything Rwanda has to offer from history, culture, business, and nature. Emmanuel took care of everything and was very knowledgeable and a safe driver. Highly recommend this tour and thus company.
