Very caring for customer experience, wanted to make sure we’re having a great time.
5/5

Emile was super responsive from Lion Safari. We picked this tour operator because we felt the most trust and honest. Emile was straight with us saying he can’t do the date we wanted and gave us different dates, and worked with us for dates alternative that did work for us. And it turns out to have worked out and we had a great time with the gorillas and hotel selected.

The price of the permit is very high and not just the price but the trip itself for it was great so I don’t want it to be ruined due to unavailability of permitting. Other operators would say there are availability, even though the gov website shows zero, and without evidence. That is pretty concerning gamble and essentially a trust me bro. I didn’t like that about other tour operators.

Book Lion Safaris and you’ll have a great time.

Thanks Emile for the great experience!

Amazing visit to Volcano National Park, canoeing and Akagera
5/5

Fantastic experience, fantastic company, fantastic guide!
Emile could not have done more for me. I went to see the gorillas on the Rwandan side and to Akagera National Park. Emile also arranged a canoeing trip on the way to Volcanoes National Park.
He paid a lot of attention to my requests to customise the trip.
He is an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about both Akagera ( where he worked previously as a guide) and the Volcanoes National park. He also interned there.
In Akagera, Emile does the guiding himself . He knows a lot of other guides and is able to leverage these relationships to ensure you see animals. The lodge he suggested within the package was Ruzizi - it was incredible I highly recommend it.
I am really interested in birds and Emile made sure that I got opportunities to see them. He knows his birds!
As a solo female traveller , Emile was punctual, polite, very well organised and very easy to spend time with( he has a lovely warm personality). Go with Lion Safari’s you cant do better!

Organized, Responsive and Punctual for the Trip of a Lifetime
5/5

Lion Safari was organized and professional, led by Emile. I was able to book a one day Gorilla Trek with them only a week before the trip. They were the first to response out of all the Safari Booking inquiries - and they were clear in terms of what they need.

Peter was my driver/guide for the day and he was punctual, polite and great to talk to. When we got to Volcanoes National Park, we were handed off to our park guide. Our trek was amazing and great to see the Gorillas up close. Our trek took longer as others in the group were slower - but Peter waited patiently for my arrival before driving me back to Kigali.

Highly recommend!

Our very own Gorilla's in the Mist experience
5/5

Rwanda, Lion Safaris and Emile provided us with an experience to satisfy a lifelong dream.
We visited the market and genocide memorial in Kigali and then travelled to the Volcanoes park for Gorilla and golden monkey trekking. We had great food and service at our accomodation (Tilorenza) and all our pick ups, drop offs, bookings were looked after by Emile and his big enthusiastic smile. If I could stay longer I would love to visit Akagera, the Chimpanzees and the 'old' capital city for some history ....next time!.

Responsive,reliable and flexible to my needs
5/5

I had a wonderful experience from start to finish being picked up at my hotel in Kigali then driven to the park by Peter where we met our guide Eric. It was my first ever safari and was a fabulous experience. Eric accommodated my birding and we stopped frequently so I could take photographs from the jeep. The boat trip was fantastic too seeing huge crocodiles, more hippos, elephants and 100s of roosting birds. Ruzizi tented lodge was incredible as was watching the moon rise over the lake and the micro bats. Thoroughly recommend.
