Amazing!
Had the best time from organising the trip with Frank to the safari itself! I was a solo female traveler so my mind was put at ease with the quick responses to all my questions. My guide muhamed was 10/10, I had so much fun, felt safe and a life long memories were made!

Kind and responsive to our request
For all of us was the first safari ever and we're more than excited now. Taufique was a wonderful and very kind guide! He showed us the wonders of Akagera Park, stopping each time we asked him in the perfect spots to look at the animals!
The experience was amazing even though it rained at certain times, in fact, thanks to the opening jeep roof we spotted lots of animals: giraffes, elephants, antelopes, baboons, hippos, and thanks to the funny and immersive boat trip option even a crocodile in the lake!
We had just some troubles with the pickup time, cause the jeep broke a few minutes before and the guide was a little bit late, but we forgot immediately this little problem thanks to the amazing and unique experience that Taufique gave us live!

8 Day trip with Eascto An Excellent Safari !!!
We have just finished an 8 day safari with Eastco. Visiting Ngorongoro Serengeti Manyara and Tarangire.
The trip booked months ago was better than expected and everything went according to plan including the wildlife.
Lions elephants giraffe cheetah and one leopard all helped the experience.
The lodges and camps were well situated for the parks we visited. The Wildlife Lodge at Ngorongoro had beautiful views and excellent food. The view from the veranda of the crater in the late evening was well worth the Rim stay.
In the Serengeti we stayed at the very popular Kati Kati Camp. Another excellent choice, the closeness of the game made for relaxing game drives. Boundary Hill Lodge has probably the best location of any lodge we saw perched atop a steep ridge. Our guide Kibabai was young and enthusiastic with a good knowledge of the parks and the animals birds included.
It was a great trip, well organized and thanks to Eastco planned to perfection. The trip was well worth the 5 star rating.

Brilliant
From start of booking process to the final drop off after the trip this was a truly superb experience. Myself and 4 friends were driven by JeanMari who was a truly excellent driver and guide and looked after us all day in Akagera National Park. Saw every animal except lions and plenty of food drinks and rest stops. Very comfortable safari vehicle with opening roof WiFi and charging sockets. Very comfortable. Truly an amazing day. Highly recommend this safari company to anyone. Loved it and will use them again if I ever get the chance.

Professional, well-organized, flexible, friendly, very knowledgeable, great value for money.
Our trip was delayed by exactly a year with Omicron flight cancellations hitting us in December '21. The waiting experience was frustrating but Frank and team always made sure we were communicating through the year, taking care to rebook everything at no additional cost and ensuring we kept our enthusiasm despite more pain from Airlines (in December '22). Once we landed there, the trip itself was great- well paced, comfortable and generally met all the promises Rwanda makes (gorillas and chimps and golden monkeys etc). Our stay was at nice boutique hotels with a small clientele and very personalized service. Frank and Claude coordinated everything really well and accommodated our little quirky last minute demands- the whole trip was seamless and a super lot of fun. The way in which they organized the trip for us- it was quite evident they do this a lot and their connections/relationships with hotels/parks/others are well established.

Great tour operator
Frank was very patient, accommodating, and responsive while we planned our trip. I made several requests and changes and had lots of questions and he was great about organizing things exactly to my specifications. We also had to change our dates due to Rwandair flight cancellations and he was adaptable with the new dates as well. Our guide/driver Claude was lovely, flexible with changing requests, knowledgeable, and a great driver. Golden Rwanda was also one of the more competitively priced companies of those we contacted. Would highly recommend them and use them again!

Fantastic 4-day tour that I will never forget.
My whole experience was fantastic. I must admit I was a little nervous when first booking because it was my first time in Africa and had no idea about how the tour would go.
The communication prior to my arrival was great, they always responded quickly.
Once I arrived, my driver picked me up from the hotel and from the start he was so friendly and helpful. I learned a lot about Rwanda from him, and got to know him pretty well. I had an issue with the PCR test they did at the airport (necessary for the parks), and he managed to resolve it for me while we were driving.
The tour ran extremely smoothly, there were no issues at all. The hotels were very good, and all the tours were of course fantastic.
I really enjoyed the drive to Nyungwe and Volcanoes, as I got to see a lot of the Rwandan countryside. It is a beautiful country and I feel I got a really good glimpse of it, thanks to Golden Rwanda!

A company that would give you the best experience during your trip
we did a 15-day safari through Uganda in which we really saw everything. Our guides Solomon and Abraham have ensured that this is truly an experience we will never forget.
in addition to what they promise to show us in the document you put together with them, they do their best to go the extra mile. they want to give you a real uganda experience with local food, community tours and are always ready to answer your questions. they know where the good places for tourists to spend the night where you immediately feel comfortable and safe. communication went well and if any changes had to be made, this was communicated well.
in short, I recommend everyone to book his or her trip to East Africa with SCB tours and travel, they are good at what they do and do just that little bit more than what you expect, so they deserve this good review.
solomon and abraham, thank you again very much for this unforgettable experience
