Two Excellent day tours from Kigali
My daughter and I travelled to Rwanda in December 2025. Mostly we were busy in Kigali but we had two days free for sightseeing so we arranged some tours with Hermosa Life Tours and Travel. We did a day trip from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park on one day. And then a day trip from Kigali to Akagera National Park on the other. Both days were expertly organised by Hermosa. A big thank you to our guide Damascene, and also to Yvonne for her organisation. The payment was done up front and happened smoothly by international money transfer via my bank.
The Volcanoes NP trip was to see the mountain gorillas. Hermosa organised our permits and everything ran smoothly. We were picked up from our hotel in Kigali at 04.30 and arrived at the briefing point with plenty of time to spare. We ended up with a tough 3 hour hike to see the gorillas, so be prepared for a tough hike as the gorillas go where they want. But when we found the gorillas the hike was all worth while. I strongly recommend gaitors and sturdy boots. After the national park we also visited the Gorilla Guardians Village where we had an awesome introduction to Rwandan culture. The village is not far from the national park and it takes about an hour to visit, so it is easy to add to your itinerary.
We also visited Akagera NP for a day safari. Its better if you can spend 2 or 3 days, but we only had one day to spare so Hermosa made it work. Again everything was well organised and ran smoothly. We were picked up from our Kigali hotel at 05.00 and ended up with 6-7 hours in the park. We saw zebra, giraffes, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, 6 lions, warthogs,, a hippo. many impala and Topi, Baboons and more than 10 types of birds. Damascene was also able to get us a hot meal for lunch in the national park (own cost). We had another awesome day and were back at our hotel by 19.00. I am very happy to recommend Hermosa Life Tours.
Had s as great time
Hermosa tours are a wonderful company. They were prompt, patient and extremely helpful. I enjoyed my trip with Richard and he enjoyed my company too. It’s a long drive back and forth to the National Park but we both chatted all the way and the trip did not feel long at all.
I highly recommend Hermosa.
Amazing multi-day guided experience
A multi-day tour by one guide is a first for me and it has now set a high standard. Our guide Abou was one of the most knowledgeable, honest, and professional people I have ever met. By the end of the trip he seemed like a friend, he ensured our safety, that we were treated well, and had everything we needed.
The golden monkey and gorilla trek we really cool and the cultural tour was both educational and entertaining. I would definitely recommend this tour. And 10 out 10 time I would recommend you request Abou to guide your experience! You won't regret it!
Simple clear and efficient
Pacifique our driver was great. Super chill. Very knowledgeable and helpful. The tour was great. Hotel was decent. We did the mid range. So don’t expect luxury but the service was very good and the food decent. The cultural experience was a bit of a tourist trap but still interesting. The gorillas were at the edge of the forest so we didn’t get to hike much. No one can predict that. But it did take a bit away from the overall experience. The golden monkeys were definitely a highlight. They were in the field eating potatoes which made them easily accessible
Best Trip Ever!
From beginning to end this was the best trip ever! Hermosa's constant informative communication, the accomadations, the meals, the guide, the vehicle, everything first class. In Rwanda's National Park we saw lions, rhinos, hippos, antelope (many kinds), elephnts, giraffes, water buffalo, warthogs, baboons, crocodiles, eagles, a wide variety of birds, and many other animals. It was amazing! Our driver, Abu, had the unique ability to find the animals that we so much wanted to see in their natural habitat. While other tour companies were following each other around Abu made his own path to see animals that were hard to find. There was only my wife and I with Abu which made for a private tour, no crowd or rushing, or waiting for others.
The accomodation was a tented bedroom with full bath in a private setting. The service and meals were great. We took all of our meals outside looking at the large lake. We even had a boat tour and a night tour, very exciting.
This was a life experience thanks to a great company, Hermosa Life Tours
