A perfect tour start to finish, everything we wanted and more

5/5

Lion Safaris were 100% value for money: professional, reliable, knowledgeable and friendly. Our guide was happy to answer all of our questions and tell us about the country and wildlife of Rwanda, whilst also being sensitive to giving us space to just sit and watch the world go by. They provided my partner and I and 2 young adult children with a fantastic bespoke 11 day holiday in Rwanda, booking all necessary permits, tickets and hotel rooms for us. From being met at the airport (and yes, we were a little nervous, having sent a lot of money to an unknown company!) with our smart safari Landcruiser to the very last day, we loved every minute of our tour of the country. Lion Safaris really showed us they care about satisfied customers. We saw the Volcanoes region, Nyungwe national park and Akagera National park, with great drives in between all 3. The hotels and lodges we were booked into were outstanding and as they have known Lion Safaris for many years, have a good working relationship with them. They went above and beyond to provide meals out of hours or to takeaway. We hope to return for a tour of Uganda/Tanzania where Lion now offers tours. Do not hesitate to book with Lion Safaris, a family-run business in the heart of Rwanda.

Amazing gorilla trek made great family memories!

5/5

Emile was helpful and responsive as we planned this once in a lifetime adventure. We chose Lion based on that and what previous travelers shared about their experience with this tour operator. Joel, our guide, was a great fit for the three young adults in our group. We appreciated his positive energy and his knowledge of Rwanda’s history, culture, and wildlife, particularly on safari in Akagera National Park.

Excellent service and knowledgeable company, Emile is fantastic.

5/5

From the moment I first contacted him Emile was very fast responding and answered all my questions. He was very reliable and flexible all throughout the trip and nothing was too much trouble. He really helped me with the gorilla trekking as so had been ill the week before and I wasn’t sure I would make it if I got a long distance trek. He spoke with the park organisers a number of times and helped request a nearby group so my trek would be as short as possible. It was a truly amazing experience and I really thank him for helping to make sure I made it. He kept me informed at every point of what was happening and where we were going which was very reassuring as a solo traveller. I would highly recommend Lion Sarafis for any trip you are considering in Rwanda.
