Good Communication & Experience
5/5

My sister & I booked a 1-day Bisoke Mountain hike with Empirical tours and Eraste. The communication prior to the tour was excellent and he picked us up from our hotel exactly on time. He drove us to the hike where we were escorted by park rangers. When finished with the hike, he took us to dinner in Musanze and then back to Kigali. It was a long day and Eraste was happy to tell us about his country and the villages and cities we drove through. We had a great time on the hike - the views were stunning. We felt safe the entire time.

Such a wonderful experience! Highly recommend!

5/5

Great experience with Empirical Tour and Travel ! It was my first time traveling solo, and my first time in Rwanda. The communication prior to the trip was great. Eraste was very patient with all my questions and took the time to answer them all. The activities organized by Eraste were all great and well chosen. I felt safe the entire time I was with Eraste and Innocent. I recommend Empirical for your rwandan adventure !

Eraste was very professional and an excellent travelling companion.
5/5

I was met at Kigali airport in Rwanda by Eraste and taken to my hotel before going off to explore the city. We visited to the genocide memorial which was moving but is a could be a shock to many. Also saw in Kigali a craft place which did not really appeal to me but might to others. Also explored the city on foot which was to me more interesting when we were away from the smarter areas.
I then headed to Musanze , Volcanoes National Park where I had opted to trek to see the Golden Monkeys which were a great experience.
We then went and visited a cow farm in Bigogwe to learn how cows are of great importance in Rwandan culture.
I stayed at on the shore of Lake Kivu sadly too short a stay, before headed to the border to cross into the Congo. Be sure and have any medical information as requested.
We were unable to do the city tour of Bukavu as there was a political rally taking place and we considered it not a safe option.
The highlight of my time with Eraste was my time in Kahuzi Biega National Park to trek out to see the gorillas. No one else was with us but the guides and guards unlike in Rwanda where too many head out to see the Gorillas there due to the fame of Dian Fossey and "Gorillas in the Mist" film. My advise by all means take some photographs but also take time just to watch them!
The boat trip up the the lake to Goma was very relaxing and even provided fee internet.
Goma was fun to ride the famous wooden bikes. Also viewed the refugee camps out side the city.
Crossing the border was easy and having cleared you seam to be able to wonder backwards and forwards to take photographs.
The drums in Burundi where real treat.
Allin all a very memorable experience and Eraste goes out of his way to make sure you have a great trip.
