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 :)

Amazing experience, well above any expectations.
I vetted five Safaris Company in Rwanda in August 2021 and there were some robust reasons for choosing Golden Rwanda. Mr.Frank who is the operator is very responsive, courteous and the ability to work together to accommodate a group of 37 people where 25 were children was outstanding in a project that comprised of two humanitarian schemes and one Safari. Not only Frank but all drivers were attentive, well informed about all aspects of Rwanda ( Wildlife, Political, Social) and above all, they are “people to people “. Recommended without hesitation.

Professional service
I planned a Safari trip with Relish of Africa, but unfortunately the trip didn't work out for personal reasons.
Along the last weeks I was in contact with Andrew who helped me a lot in planning the trip.
He was very professional and very responsive. He answred all my questions.
I felt that I was in good hands.

Attention to Detail and the true Safari experience
I traveled with Gundua African Adventures twice this year, once in July of 2021 to Ngorongoro and Tarangire Parks and again in October in Nyerere National Park/Selous. Both times I had an amazing time with guides Charles and Michael respectively. I've traveled on Tanzanian Safaris for nearly two dozen times over the past 15 years, either for personal travel or for work (I am the service learning coordinator at an international school in the middle east so I have taken student groups to East Africa many times on safari) and both of these two trips have been highlights of my safari experiences. Incredible attention to detail on all experiences and I would highly recommend this company.

Priceless safari experiences with Roadside Expeditions
We have spent an amazing time with Roadside Expeditions during our six day safari throughout Tanzania.
We can highly recommend Paul and his company. He was very attentive to our needs and questions before arriving.
From the time we were picked up at Arusha Airport to the time we were dropped off at Kilimanjaro Airport, we felt safe and knew we were in good hands.
The tour itself was absolutely brilliant. We had Justin as our tour guide. He was really friendly a good driver and guide also well connected with other tour guides so we were able to see so many incredible animals.
All of our accommodations were comfortable with nice and helpful staff.
Truly amazing experience - amazing lodges, great Roadside Expeditions!

Stay away. We paid, but Taste of Malawi Safaris never showed up.
We paid for a tour that included 7 people, more than $4,000. On the day of the trip no one showed. Taste of Malawi continued to say someone was coming. After 9 hours waiting in a parking lot we were force to make last minute arrangements. We have been promised a refund, but 3 months later, no refund and no response to our attempts to contact.

Really outstanding company with outstanding guides
Frank and his team made our journey in Rwanda memorable.
They helped us organizing our trip that included some charity work and safari.
The entire team showed great professionalism, flexibility and kindness.
We were a big group and they managed impeccably. The team was very kind and patient with the kids.
In the safari part they managed to let us see the Big 5.
I highly recommend them and definitely use them next tome I travel to Rwanda to go see the Gorillas!

Fantastic team, great safari trucks, and tailor-made tours
The owner, Frank, is very responsive and will make sure you have an amazing holiday in Rwanda.
His team is world-class and super family-friendly. We had a lot of kids in our group and they all loved Frank's tour guides, especially Iddy, Jean Paul, and Jean Marie. But honestly all of them are very kind, very very helpful and a joy to be with.
We did a vetting involving the top 5 rates tour agencies in Rwanda. Based on our pre-trip screening, Golden Rwanda, came out ranked no. 1. This was based on responsiveness, price competitiveness, and overall product appeal.
Having just returned for an 8-day trip with Golden Rwanda, I can say that Frank and his team are fully deserving of their no. 1 ranking.

Amazing Expedition with Raymond and Godson
I found GIE on Instagram and chatted up Mathew Godlistern. I was skeptical at first, but the ongoing service from Mathew and then Raymond were second to none. My questions were answered almost instantly despite the time difference. We put together an amazing 6 days in the central Serengeti. Raymond assigned us our guide Godson, who in my opinion after 4 other safaris, was the best guide I’ve experienced. A true gentleman and an excellent spotter. He knows how to find the right light for your photos. Ray made excellent recommendations for accommodations to fit our budget. He arranged an amazing balloon safari. When we decided to fly back to Arusha at the end instead of drive, Raymond made it happen with ease. With these guys you will find service above and beyond what you will find with the big guys.
