An amazing experience
5/5

We had an amazing, once in a lifetime experience, which we would highly recommend. Lion Safaris organised all of the gorilla permits and guides for us, Emile was very responsive and extremely helpful at getting things booked and answering all of our questions. This made it easy to focus on the excitement of the gorilla trek without worrying about all of the admin!

Excellent Golden Monkeys trip
5/5

I really loved my trip with Lion Safaris to see the Golden Monkeys. My tour guide Joel was wonderful and I loved hearing about his life in Rwanda. The trip was very well organised and efficient and we got to spend an hour with the monkeys very close up. I would strongly recommend Lion Safaris.

Took the stress out of planning
5/5

Godfrey was a wonderful driver and very helpful every step of the way. He made sure I had what I needed and knew what was happening at every stage. The actual trek was wonderful, the guide was funny and informative. The experience was surreal and I was impressed with how many gorillas we were able to see and how much time we spent with them.

The actual process of booking the trek was at first nerve wracking, but Emile made the process feel safe and secure with quick responses and follow ups as the date got closer. The value of the experience I received was exceptional and I’m glad I booked with Lion Safaris.

More - I had an unfortunate incident the night before losing my cash for payment and Emile answered my late night call and we found a solution together. Professional.

Emile was the best tour guide!
5/5

I did an eight day safari with Lion Safaris, including seeing chimpanzees, a gorilla trek and safari. Emile was a great tour guide and great company throughout the time together as we covered all corners of Rwanda. He was very patient, professional and knowledgeable. I learned an incredible amount about a diverse, beautiful and resilient country thanks to him. I hope to return again someday.

Gorillas, Crocs, Hippos and More!
5/5

had an exceptional experience with Lion Safaris of Kigali, Rwanda, from my initial online booking through my final airport drop-off.
The owner, Emile, and my multi-day guide, Danny, both have extensive backgrounds in wildlife, professional guiding, and ecotourism. Before Lion Safaris, both worked at Akagera National Park as registered wildlife guides or rangers, and that depth of experience was evident throughout my trip.
I booked everything online, and Emile was responsive, communicative, and professional from the beginning. Pricing was transparent, and after experiencing the trip, I felt it was absolutely worth it.
My package included a gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park, followed by 2.5 days in Akagera National Park. Transportation and logistics were handled seamlessly, but what really distinguished the experience was the amount of knowledge shared along the way—not only about wildlife, but also about Rwanda's history, culture, communities, and conservation efforts.
At Akagera, I had the opportunity to see the Big Five and so much more. My stay at the beautiful eco-focused Ruzizi Tented Lodge was another highlight, with fantastic service and food. I experienced both day and night game drives, as well as a boat safari on Lake Ihema, where I saw an incredible variety of birds, crocodiles, hippos, and other wildlife.
My trip concluded with a seamless airport drop-off. I was so impressed with both Lion Safaris and Rwanda that I am already considering returning, this time with a greater focus on the country's birdlife and aquatic wildlife.
I also appreciated that so much of what Lion Safaris does is connected to conservation, ecotourism, and local community development. This wasn't simply a safari—it gave me a much deeper appreciation for Rwanda, its wildlife, its people, and the extraordinary work being done to protect both.
Professional, knowledgeable, transparent, and genuinely worth it. I would absolutely book with Lion Safaris again.
