Lion Safaris creates thoughtful, incredible, unforgettable experiences

5/5

Emile was communicative and thoughtful from designing the trip to actually driving us around Rwanda.

Everything - from the animal experiences to the lodges we stayed at, food we ate, and even bathroom stops - were top notch.

Emile himself is gregarious and knowledgeable - ready to do what it takes for his clients to see what they want and learn about the history and flora/fauna of Rwanda. If you're a birder - he'll make sure you pause for every kite and roller and heron!

Flexible guide, Incredible experience, 10/10 recommend!

5/5

My family and I spent 8 days with Emile (founder and owner of Lion Safaris) traveling through Kigali, Nyungwe, Volcanoes, and Akagera. I have lived in Rwanda for 5 months, and spent a lot of time finding the best company - and Lion safaris ended up coming up to the number one spot.

First, Emile: He was incredible. Very knowledgeable, personable, funny, and quite honestly the best guide I've encountered (having been on trips in many other countries as well). We always felt safe and informed with him, and his experience as a guide in Akagera and having been in the business for 17 years really paid off.

Second, the trip: Our trip was amazing. Emile booked the best hotels for us, and the process was seamless. The parks are amazing, the experiences are once-in-a-lifetime, and I was really impressed with Rwanda as a whole. While I've lived here for several months, this was my first time traveling extensively outside of Kigali and I cannot express how incredible this place is.

If you are on the fence about booking this tour, reach out to Emile. It was worth every penny.

Emile was the best (knowledgeable, patient, kind, caring - an overall generous guide)

5/5

10/10 would recommend!!

We had an excellent trip, all made possible through Emile and Lion Safaris. We didn’t have to worry about any of the logistics or the driving. The places we stayed were excellent. The food was top notch. I feel like a showed up, got to look at animals, and was very well taken care of. We got to see chimpanzees, gorillas, rhino, giraffes, elephants, hippos, baboons, and many more, all in their natural habitats. I felt safe and didn’t have to life a finger for more than a photo.

If you’re looking for the perfect African adventure, look no further.

Excellent attentive service

5/5

Dany our driving was amazing. He was kind, would check on our wellbeing. Extremely knowledgeable about the game park, and the animals. Willing to go that extra distance to find the animals we hadn't yet seen.
We would definitely chose to go back with this company.

Amazing trip, perfect organization

5/5

We spent with Lion Safaris and our lovely guide Emile 10 days over Christmas 2025, doing a tour Kigali-Nungwe-Volcanoes-Akagera-Kigali. We are typically self-driving during our travels but for Rwanda Lion Safaris was definetely the right choice. Emile is local Rwandian, he studied tourism and worked many years as park guide in Akagera and Volcanoes national parks, which means that he was extremely knowledgable about all the facts about Rwanda, culture, wildlife, people, etc. and he was proffessional. Communication before our arrival was smooth, Lion Safaris helped us to adjust the trip as per our needs (in Volcanoes we added on top of Gorillas also the Golden Monkeys treck), we paid the deposite online, Emile instructed us what to pack with us and then our guide was waiting for us at the airport. The ten days spent with him were very pleasant. All was organized seamlessly, we were not waiting for any formalities anywehere, Emile was always on time, selection of accommodation was very good, food served or packed for us everywhere was always very tasty and Emile made sure we had plenty of water, food or breaks as per needs, as well as information about everything what we see. He speaks fluent perfectly English, French and is very interesting person. Spending the long drives with him was fun and very educative. Rwanda is stunning, all the activities of our itinerary were jaw dropping, we enjoyed the long drives as well as the landscape combined with stories of Emile it was simply beautiful.
Our first guided travel ever couldnt go any better better and we will definetely recommend Lion Safaris to all our friends. Keep up the great work Emile, we will miss you!
