Excellently planned and executed to fit your individual preferences
From the start I was very impressed by how responsive and efficient Frank the owner of Golden Rwanda Safaris was in engaging and replying all my queries via email after I had submitted my enquiry via safaribookings.com. His responses were reassuring and the most thorough amongst all the other agencies that had responded following my general enquiry on the website. He was able to make the proper suggestions and cater to my need to focus on history as well as nature and animals when coming up with my itinerary and was very accomodating to make inclusions according to my preferences. I left the accommodation selection up to his recommendation and I was not disappointed. It was a good mix of varying types of accomodations from high end hotels and resorts to rustic lodges in the forest, by lake Ihema and the Karenge bush tent lodge overlooking the expansive plains of Akagera National park. All the accomodations were very comfortable and beautiful with friendly and helpful staff and excellent service.
My guide and driver Dady was an absolute gem. He was very knowledgeable, reliable and knew the best way to plan the day and the sequence in which activities of the day could best be done. He was essential at making sure that this was a memorable first, but definitely not the last, time I visit Africa. He was able to advise me on what to expect for the different activities and what were the key essential things to learn from each place visited. He did an excellent job at driving long distances safely with appropriate breaks and was very good at spotting wild life and explaining interesting and important facts about the animals during the Akagera Safari Drives. Dady was able to explain about the history of Rwanda and other activities of daily life and the Rwandan Culture which was interesting and good for discussion.
I was also very glad that we could add the night drive at Karenge Lodge at the last minute because it was a truly different experience, and it was great to observe the difference in the behaviours of the animals during the day and night. Gorilla Trekking as a highlight was truly magical and so were the other treks from Chimpanzees in Nyungwe national park, Colobus and golden monkey trekking and the Dian Fossey Memorial trek. It was great to see that these conservation efforts were also able to support the local community and in turn encourage them to care for and protect the animals around them.
The itinerary was well planned and I did appreciate the 2 nights of rest and relaxation on opposite shores of Lake Kivu as well as the boat ride across it. This was before the slightly more intensive treks at Volcanoes National Park so I was well rested and ready to fully immerse myself in the experiences at Volcanoes national park. I did request to see the UNESCO heritage genocide memorials and I appreciated the 4 different ones that I managed to visit that were close to each of the key regions we were headed to over this 13 day trip. Each were well curated and unique in their own way and all had powerful messages to share.
Rwanda and Golden Rwanda Safaris has definitely made this a superb bucket list travel destination for me. Thank you Frank and team!

Our excellent experience with top Tour guide Abiy
Abiy picked us up in the hotel in Lalibela and showed and explained us some of the most impressive Rock Hewn Churches. His knowledge of history was great.
As other highlights I want to point out Axum, the capital of the ancient empire of the Queen of Saba and of course the National Museum in Addis Abeba showing the story of mankind starting with Lucy!

Very accommodating and easy to get in contact with.
My friend and I booked with Toto Tembo and even tho we had many delays and problems with our flights they still made sure we were able to get as much of the tour done in the short time we had. They were extremely easy to communicate with and did everything they could so that we could get the best experience possible. They are so friendly and helped us with everything we needed and checked up on us during our safari to make sure everything was okay. The driver was incredible and made sure we saw as many animals as possible. We were extremely happy with them.

Excellent safari experience with MoAfrika Tours
Our experience with MoAfrika Tours was outstanding from start to finish. Communication before the tour was clear and quick, which made everything easy and stress-free. The service on the day was excellent — punctual, well organised, and very professional.
The safari itself was amazing. We saw a large group of elephants, as well as zebras and antelopes, which was unforgettable. Our guide was friendly, funny, and extremely knowledgeable, sharing great insights throughout the tour and making the experience both fun and educational.
MoAfrika Tours offers great value for money and is very reliable. Everything ran smoothly, and the experience exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable safari experience in South Africa.

Amazing Memories Safaris provides exceptional service in creating the perfect safari experience
We had an incredible experience working with Amazing Memories Safaris. I worked directly with Brian for almost a year while planning our safari, and he was extremely helpful, patient, and responsive throughout the entire process. He created an amazing, well-thought-out itinerary and made everything feel easy from start to finish, including providing peace of mind with payments and logistics.
Our trip included 3 nights at Borana Lodge (with unforgettable horseback riding and e-bike safaris), 1 night at Lake Nakuru, and 4 nights in the Masai Mara at Neptune Mara Rianta Luxury Camp. All of the lodges were outstanding, each offering something special and unique.
James, our driver and guide, was phenomenal. He did a great job driving us between camps and truly went out of his way to make every game drive special. We easily saw the Big Five multiple times, and it was obvious he had great relationships with the other guides, which helped us find the best wildlife sightings. He also found the perfect spots for our breakfasts and lunches, and we enjoyed some of the most beautiful sundowners imaginable.
We brought school supplies for local children, and James graciously made many stops so we could distribute them. We even had the opportunity to stop at a local school, which was a very meaningful experience for us.
Overall, this was a flawless and unforgettable safari. I would highly recommend Amazing Memories Safaris to anyone looking to plan a trip of a lifetime. Their attention to detail, personalized service, and professionalism truly set them apart.

Amazing Safari Experience in Rwanda, we loved traveling with Isaac and Alicia!
I traveled to Rwanda Wild Sage to Akagera and Volcanoes National Park, and they picked the best accommodation for us. We stayed at Karenge in Akagera, and Sambora in Volcanoes, and honestly, we couldn't have asked for better properties. They were both 10/10. Isaac was an incredible safari guide, and Alicia was amazing at doing all of the organization for us before we arrived. I could not recommend a better tour operator in Rwanda for your safari needs!
