Amazing customer service
Gorilla and golden monkey trek
Jul 2024 • Solo
I went on a gorilla and golden monkey trek with Golden Rwanda Safaris, both amazing and truly unique experiences with the animals. We were within a few feet of the gorilla family. The 2-3 yr old juvenile gorillas were tussling and climbing trees and vines almost the whole time. The golden monkeys were just beautiful and such fun to watch scampering in forest trees and also on adjacent farmland, digging up and eating potatoes. Frank, the tour operator, was amazing, going above and beyond any company I have ever dealt with.
He had told me that his primary goal is customer service, and he demonstrates this approach beyond any expectations I had. Through many emails and also phone conversations with Frank, he clarified any questions I had regarding the trip and was always there when needed. His professionalism and flexibility were outstanding. He was truly magnanimous on the last day when he personally took me to the airport at 9 AM when it was discovered at the last minute that my flight was re-scheduled for 12 hrs later. He took me back to his office in Kigali and personally saw to it that one of his guides met up with me to tour the city and see more sights we missed the first day before returning me to the airport in the evening. Both my original guide and guide that last day were pleasant, reliable and knowledgeable about Rwanda and the wildlife.
I would highly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris to anyone. Frank is a true treasure

Excellent safari
The guides were very attentive and made sure to take us to the best places so we could see the Big 5. The food was excellent and the accommodation was much better than expected. I would repeat without a doubt!

Outstanding Solo Travel Experience with Excellent Service and Stunning Wildlife Tour
I had an excellent experience with this tour operator! The communication was quick and easy, and the team was very accommodating and flexible to my needs. As a solo traveler, I always felt safe and well taken care of. The guide was professional, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The tour itself was incredible, covering the Kibale National Park, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for gorilla trekking, and Lake Mburo National Park – all highly recommended! The combination of breathtaking landscapes and wildlife encounters made this an unforgettable adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend this operator for an outstanding journey!

Best Safari company
Had the best time with Suricata Safaris. It was easy to communicate and organise our trip and airport transfers with them. Our driver Amiri was amazing! He was so friendly and had a good eye for spotting the animals. We stayed at Suricata Boma Lodge for 2 nights and it was such a beautiful place and all the staff there were so welcoming.
Asante Sana Suricata Safaris! Definitely will choose you again for any future Safaris and highly recommend to anyone considering booking with them.

Unforgettable!
From beginning to end Serengeti Wakanda made our safari trip an unforgettable experience. Communicating with Ushma was easy as we began to plan for our trip. She rearranged our itinerary and provided tips on how to get the most out of our budget and time frame. Our guide Felix was not only an expert on finding the animals (and birds!) but provided such wonderful insight and information about Tanzania’s beautiful country and culture. He started out as our guide but at the end of 5 days became our Rafiki who we will never forget! If you plan on budget camping make sure to bring your appetite because our chef prepared breakfast lunch and dinners fresh, and so much of it! Thank you to Serengeti Wakanda for all your hard work and kindness, we can’t wait to see you again!

You could not ask for a better guide than Emile!
We were connected to Lion Safaris through a conference and the Rwanda visitors' bureau, but really hit the jackpot with our guide Emile. He contacted us before we arrived to let us know what to expect and to provide some tips for our safari. He arrived early and was driving an awesome safari vehicle with a pop-up top. On the drive to Akagera National Park from Kigali, Emile told us all about Rwanda's history and culture and answered all the questions we had along the way. He was very familiar with the park, as he was previously a park ranger, and knew exactly where to take us to see the animals on our wish list. We had an amazing day enjoying the beauty of Rwanda! Emile was very accommodating, as I took lots of photos, and our safari included a nice lunch in the park. It was a perfect experience, and I would absolutely recommend booking with Lion Safaris!

Great service and value for money
My husband and I booked our honeymoon trip with Safari Soles and it was a great experience overall. Everyone was always very friendly and Catherine helped me craft the perfect 13 day vacation and customize it according to our budget and desired itinerary. She was very responsive and everything went smoothly and according to plan when we arrived which we were very grateful for. Our driver from the airport in Kilimanjaro, Andrew, even stopped to buy us typical corn on the cob that they sell on the side of the street.
Our guide Chris and cook Athumani were both wonderful. Chris was always responsive to our needs and went out of his way to find animals and make sure that we were having fun. He was a great driver and was able to fix our one flat tire quickly and effectively to make sure we didn’t miss out on anything. I was very pleased with this after seeing so many stranded vehicles on the roads we were driving on.
The food was impressive, I don’t know how Athumani made such elaborate dishes in the camping sites we stayed at, but we never went hungry and the quality of the food was always amazing. I loved the moussaka so much he made it for me twice and even asked us if we had requests for future meals.
The hotel we stayed in in Zanzibar was amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better location in Kendwa Beach.
Overall great value for price and we are very happy with our experience with Safari Soles. Thank you again!

Very resourceful and enthusiastic!
My wife and I had an amazing weekend trip to the Maasai Mara with Khalifa. He was kind, warm, and very informed when completing the game drives. We saw elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, and even a leopard with her babies. We were grateful for Khalifa's hard work and resourcefulness with getting us the best photo opportunities!
