Very professional, caring & humble team led by Frank
Golden Rwanda Safaris was our chosen tour operator (amongst few) to cater for our large group mainly consisting of children aged between 6-15 plus parents during our autumn half-term break. Our trip purpose was twofold: 1-philanthropic (building the water station and planting trees across Rwanda), 2-safari at Akagera national park. Golden safaris team allotted us 6 vehicles with the exceptionally knowledgeable guide/drivers each. Frank has such an exceptional selection of his team of guides/drivers. Frank himself also joined and led the convoy. In one week we became a family all together. Golden Safaris team were with us from the pout of arrival to a point of departure and everything in between covering distances between the locations we were visiting in our busy weekly agenda. Due to the specifics of our complex trip agenda, Frank was hands on shaping it together to the benefit of all parties involved. The team was extremely reliable, kind & our angel guardians, babysitters, storytellers, etc. A note, Rwanda is the safest country to be in (9th ranked by the UN).
Rwanda is a beautiful country, which is worth visiting once in a lifetime. We will definitely go back to visit our working sites, do more good jobs and see gorillas. FYI, to visit gorillas the kids have to be 15 yo & above. Golden safaris is the ONE I will ring up to help us with it :)

Fantastic!
Simon of East African Safari Co created a wonderful, well-tailored travel safari for our group of 3. We did a long safari of 16 days and he made it very interesting, varied and covered all of the area highlights. We visited five national parks/area and also had numerous interactions with the local population and culture. The staff was outstanding (we LOVED our guide), food was excellent and the lodging was very nice. All of this was done for nearly 1/2 of what other safari companies were charging. Simon was in frequent contact with us over our four months of planning and responded quickly to any questions or needs we had. Overall, we had the best time and highly recommend East African Safari company. We are looking forward to our next trip to eastern Africa and will certainly use EAST Co again in the future.

Daylong safari in East Rwanda + week of business in Kigali
Frank and his team are dedicated, knowledgeable safari operators and city drivers.
We were given a comprehensive and laid-back safari tour, going this way and that, and thanks to Frank’s keen eye we spotted some rare sightings and were able to get up close and personal! Awesome!
We were in Kigali on business and after our one day off (our safari), we enlisted Golden Rwanda Safaris as our drivers for the remainder of our business trips all over the city. They know Kigali perfectly and are super easy-going.
Thanks to them we had a fantastic and successful trip to Rwanda.
Thanks so much!

Fantastic Tour
Tony is a great tour guide, and just a really nice person in general. He's passionate about Rwanda and Kigali, and we learned so much while having a great time and seeing the best that the city has to offer.

3 day safari and 3 day beach Excellent holida
I have just returned home after a 2 week holiday in Tanzania visiting family and we did a 6 day trip with Eastco . It was not our first trip to East Africa nor will it be our last. We had previously been on safari so as we were visiting family in Tanzania we decided to do a 3 night visit to Tarangire staying at Boundary Hill Lodge and 3 nights on the beach at Tanga. Boundary Hill Lodge was excellent, plenty of wildlife especially birds. The lodge overlooking the savannah below was private, comfortable and the food excellent in the extreme.
We spent a day driving to Tanga from Tarangire and stayed at Eastco's camp right on the beach. What a beautiful spot. The tide in the morning went way out so if you wanted an early morning swim, a walk was required first.
On our last day there it rained all day, really heavy, but this didn't spoil the fun.
The highlights here would've been the walk around the village and the peace and quiet.
The tents were simple but for a beach holiday with sand everywhere what more do you need.
The drive down was interesting with stops at Moshi, Same and Segera. The children loved the fresh fruit bought by the roadside. All in all it was an excellent 6 day trip and Eastco did an excellent job. I work with a lady who has also visited East Africa with Eastco and they also had a fantastic trip.
Tanga is beautiful, and different.

A truly African adventure
We were very fortunate to have picked Golden Rwanda Safaris headed up by Frank. We went on a day safari to Akagera National Park with Frank in his very modern V8 diesel Toyota land cruiser. We picked up a game scout from the main office when we arrived to join us who was very knowledgeable about everything to do with the park. We saw many animals, birds and butterflies. Massive thanks to Frank we very much enjoyed our trip and Rwanda is a remarkable country all round. Now my wife Carol wants to come and live in Rwanda!
