A highly professional and genuinely attentive tour operator that listens to its clients and turns th
We chose Golden Rwanda Safaris to organize our trip to Rwanda, and we could not have made a better choice.
From our very first contact, Frank listened carefully to our requests and created a trip that perfectly matched our needs. He followed our instructions in every detail and personalized the itinerary according to our wishes. The result was an amazing 11-day journey, during which we traveled across Rwanda from Kigali to the northern part of the country and discovered many different aspects of it.
All the accommodations recommended to us were of an excellent standard, and we felt very comfortable in every one of them. The guide chosen by Frank was also exceptional—we were truly lucky. Always available, knowledgeable, kind, and attentive, she made every day even more enjoyable.
The trip was filled with unforgettable experiences. We went on a spectacular safari, during which we were fortunate enough to see many animals and almost all of the Big Five, as well as enjoying a boat excursion on the lake. What we particularly appreciated was that the journey went far beyond the usual tourist experiences. We visited villages, took part in traditional dances, wore traditional clothing, and had the opportunity to learn more about the country’s culture and traditions.
We also learned a great deal about Rwanda’s history, from the monarchy and the darkest periods of its past to the country’s remarkable rebirth. This allowed us to return home with a much deeper understanding of Rwanda than we could have gained from a standard organized tour.
Another aspect we greatly appreciated was the availability and speed with which Frank helped us obtain the permit to visit Five Volcanoes National Park, even though we had made the request at relatively short notice, after already organizing the gorilla trekking experience. During the trek, Frank and his team were also extremely thorough in communicating our preferences and wishes to the trackers and everyone involved, while fully understanding that, since gorillas are wild animals, these requests could not be guaranteed. We appreciated this attention to detail enormously.
Overall, what impressed us most was the care with which every detail was organized and, above all, the genuine ability to listen to the client. Throughout the entire trip, we felt supported, heard, and well looked after, without ever feeling that we were simply following a standard itinerary.
We wholeheartedly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris to anyone wishing to visit Rwanda. It is an extremely professional, knowledgeable, and attentive company, and it played a fundamental role in making our trip an experience we will remember forever.
Heartfelt thanks to Frank, our guide, and the entire team for these unforgettable 11 days in one of the most beautiful countries we have ever visited.

Time of my life!
I was looking for an operator and there was able to provide me an itinerary to see the highlights of Rwanda. After some research online, I ended up with Golden Rwanda Expeditions. Frank responded quickly on my request and assisted with all the questions I had. In the end they made a well balanced itinerary in which I first saw chimpanzees then had some time to relax and to finish with the Gorillas. All the accommodations met expectations and my driver Rando what’s the best. From the moment of arrival till the day I left, he took very well care of me. We had a lot of fun listening to music, we stopped at great places for lunch or coffee and even spend time playing billiard. I will definitely reach out to Frank again for future trips in Africa! Thank you very much.
An Unforgettable Experience in Rwanda
Our trip to Rwanda for gorilla and golden monkey trekking was absolutely incredible and truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Seeing the mountain gorillas up close in their natural habitat was something we will never forget and easily one of the highlights of our travels.
We also did the golden monkey trek, which was a completely different but equally fun experience. The guides and trackers were knowledgeable and professional, and we felt well taken care of throughout both treks.
Frank, the owner, did an amazing job with every detail of our trip. Everything was so well organized from beginning to end, which allowed us to simply relax and enjoy the experience.
A special thank you to Taufique, our guide throughout the trip. He took such great care of us and made sure we had everything we needed along the way. His knowledge, kindness, and attention to detail made our time in Rwanda even more special.
Rwanda is a beautiful country, and this was an adventure we will always remember.

Fantastic !
We had an absolutely wonderful trip! Everything was perfect: the choice of accommodations, the tours, etc. … Our driver-guide, Patrick, was very friendly, but also very professional and fascinating. The highlight was, of course, meeting the gorillas—what an emotional experience! The organization was flawless, and being in a group of nine made the experience even more intense.
Thank you to Golden Safaris and Franck for making this experience possible for us.
Wonderful 2-week experience in Rwanda - Gorillas, Safari, Beaches, Museums and More
This was an amazing experience from start to finish. I booked a 14-day experience through Golden Rwanda Tours which included chimpanzee, gorilla and golden monkey trekking, a 5-day safari as well as visits to the Dian Fossey, Richard Kandt, King's Palace and Genocide museums. Frank, the tour company owner, provided excellent communication in the months leading up to the trip and handled all of the logistics (lodging, transportation, meals, permits, airport pickup and drop off). My tour guide, Muhammed, was very knowledgeable about the history of the region, identifying antelope and bird species during my safari and introducing me to various cultural experiences such as visiting a local women's center and the Kigali market.
The monkey, chimpanzee and gorilla trekking excursions were handled by local guides. A word of caution, be mindful of your fitness level. These can be grueling hikes across Rwanda's hilly terrain so make every effort to build your strength and cardio before you arrive. All in all, this was an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience. The food, lodging and overall hospitality were all top notch. I highly recommend Golden Rwanda Tours.
