Delightful
5/5

I was fortunate to chance upon Golden Rwanda Safaris and book my trip to the Virunga National park through them. I had opted for the Virunga Classic tour and Frank was in constant touch with me ensuring that all the papers were in order.

Liza who accompanied me from Kigali made sure of my transfer to park authorities on the DRC side after which the whole tour was nothing short of an adventure. I was picked up once the tour was complete and Liza managed to help me pick some souvenirs at a discount on my way back for which I will be ever grateful.

I would highly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris to anyone looking to travel to the Virunga.

Amazing in every way!
5/5

From the very first contact with Frank and Golden Rwanda Safaris we have been treated with excellent professionalism, service and great hospitality. Our whole experience in Rwanda from Kigali, to Nyungwe national park trekking with Chimpanzees, to our relaxing stop at the beautiful Lake Kivu and final stop at the Volcanoes national park has been just fantastic. Above all expectations. Not only is Rwanda and its nature and wildlife one of the most exciting we have ever come across, but the people we’ve met along the way have been so friendly.

It was a blast to hang out with Frank on this journey! You can easily see his huge commitment to make your experience the absolut best, and the passion he puts into every detail. Noting is too complicated. And its all about the teamwork. It’s not difficult to understand why everyone along the way knows him and welcomes you with big smile. We had so much fun and we will never forget our interesting conversations, laughs and all the magical endangered animals we had the chance to meet during our trip. Thank you, it was a dream come true! We look forward coming back.

When you visit Rwanda we highly recommend you to book your tours through Rwanda Golden Safaris!

Amazing wildlife safari with Golden Rwanda
5/5

We contacted Frank about our first trip to Rwanda. From the beginning, Frank was professional, responded quickly and as we were travelling during Covid always kept us updated with the latest measures and made us feel safe. Our whole experience from start to finish was fantastic.

When we arrived Frank sorted us with SIM cards and gave us a tour around Kigali. The next day we met our guide, Anacalet and went on our week adventure. Anacalet was such a passionate tour guide, first taking us to volcanoes to do our trek with the gorillas, then driving down to lake Kivu and finally stopping at Nyungwe National Park. In between, Anacalet would always tell us stories about Rwanda culture, life in Rwanda and how things have changed over the last twenty years.

It has been a pleasure to complete our first trip to Rwanda with Frank and Anaclet. Nothing is too complicated for Golden Rwanda. We both had so much fun and won’t forget the laughs, animals and interesting conversations we had a long the way.

We travelled to Rwanda after the Covid restrictions were lifted and can’t recommend Golden Rwanda enough to anyone looking to travel post covid. These guys are switched on and will make sure you have THE best experience while keeping safe.

Fantastic 3 Days Masai Mara
5/5

I booked a 3 day safari with Bencia Africa adventure with my friends. The driver picked as on time and was friendly. The journey to mara was smooth . We got a golden opportunity to see the big five. The camps were simply the best. To top it all it was my birthday and I was surprised with a birthday cake after dinner that was well prepared by chef George.

Efficient, Informative, Friendly, Fun!
5/5

Loved my experience with Golden Safari at Akagera! Our driver was Frank and he was prompt, friendly and fun. Our tour guide, Justine, was just as fun and informative. We saw almost all the Big 5 animals except for lion, and it was well worth it.

An Amazing Day Trip
5/5

We booked a 1-day trip to Akagera with my sister and we really enjoyed it. We appreciated the whole experience from booking to the actual visit to the park. We were able to see many animals such as baboons, impalas, elephants, zebras, eagles, hippos, crocodiles... Next time, we will book more says in order to enjoy the night and boat safari as well as visit other national parcs. I really recommend Golden Safari Rwanda and will surely come back!

Guide Jean Claude Makes Your Safari Extra Special!
5/5

Our 3-day, 2-night safari to Akagera National Park was the fulfilment of a bucket wish list item. And our guide, Jean Claude, made the game drives even more exciting. We did a total of 4 game drives including one night drive led by Akagera National Park guide. Worth the money! Golden Rwanda Safari staff have provided us with a positive, memorable experience, were professional and accommodating, and answered our many questions before and after payment. In fact, the process to make payment is very easy and convenient for the user. Jean Claude, who has a degree in travel and tourism, is well-educated on and willingly shares his knowledge on Rwanda and wild game including the many birds and fauna in the national park. He worked hard and did not give up on helping us find elephants in the North on our last drive. Akagera Game Lodge is a top notch hotel which has kept its guests' needs in mind. The front office and F&B staff are all very friendly, helpful and just want to make sure your stay is not just enjoyable, but memorable!

Rezension QT

Me and my wife had a great time with Qualified Tours! Our Guide Mdee was very friendly and we had a lot of fun in our car driving around the different national parks.
He was always open for questions and individual wishes while always helping us with his experience making decisions e.g. regarding our time schedule.
Our car was very comfortable, had a little fridge and the possibility for charging our phones or our camera.
With Mdee we saw the big five, a hunting lion, the Impressive crossing of hundreds of wildbeest of the Mara River and a lot more.
He also told us a lot about tanzanian culture and also some swahili words. He even organized a little surprise birthday party for my wife by our nice maasai hosts of the maasai giraffe eco lodge at Lake Natron.
We simply had an unforgettable time with Qualified Tours and we strongly recommend to do your safari with them. Of course you have to be lucky when doing safaris since nature is unpredictable but they did everything to make our trip the best we ever had.

Punctual
4/5

We booked a 2-day excursion to Akagera parc for a group of 6 collegues. The booking and information part was very clear and smooth and mailings were answered immediately! We were picked up by our driver Tawfik at our hotel in Kigali and than the adventure could begin! We had a very nice 2 day safari including a sunset boat safari which I would highly recommend! We stayed at Ruzizi tented lodge in the Akagera parc, this is heaven!!! Tawfik was entertaining and careful and was at our service till the last moment. This trip was excellent value for money! Do no longer hesitate . Golden rwanda safaris will make you happy!
