Amazing family safari with Emile and Lion Safaris
Emile and his team were amazing. We hired Emile to plan a complicated safari trip to Akagera as two groups of our family were staying in different areas looking to meet up at Akagera. Emile was a wonderful guide and the entire trip was amazing. I would highly recommend him and Lion Safaris to anyone visiting Rwanda.

Excellent service, communication, planning, and support from Emile, who showed us Rwanda's beauty.
From the moment I spoke with Emile as I was planning our trip, I knew that he would be an excellent tour operator. He has years of practical experience in coveted roles with Rwanda's national parks; he speaks English, Kinyarwanda, French, and a bit of Spanish (very talented with languages); he has many contacts in the travel and hospitality industries; Emile's explanations of everything we asked about was very insightful and educational; the communication with him was always prompt and informative; excellent value for money; high reliability; the tour itself was fantastic!

Emile was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable -- I really enjoyed conversing with him!
From our first contact to Lion Safaris inquiring about their trips all the way to being dropped off at the airport to catch our flight home, I had nothing but positive experiences with Emile and Lion Safaris. Emile was always warm and friendly, always accommodating, and always making sure that we had the most wonderful experiences in Rwanda!

Friendly, informative, fun tour guides
Emile and Peter were great - they answered all my questions about the tour and got everything organised. We had a comfy car with air con and everything was thought of. The accommodation for the gorilla trek was beautiful and the trek itself amazing. This was an all included tour and nothing was too much trouble. I thought value for money was very good and thoroughly enjoyed it as a way to finish my trip to Rwanda.

Emile was knowledgeable and ensured we had an incredible experience!
We went on an incredible 2-day safari in Akagera National Park in early March 2025. With Emile’s expertise, we were able to see 4 out of the Big 5! Despite going on numerous other safaris in Tanzania, Uganda, and Malawi, I have never been able to get the close up views of black rhinos and male lions that Emile was able to provide in Akagera National Park. I would highly recommend this company and national park!

Perfect Rwanda trip
We had an amazing trip to Rwanda with Lion Safaris. Emile was very responsive to my emails and created a superb trip to include everything that we wanted to see. We were met at the airport and then given a tour of Kigali. We were then taken to Volcanoes National park by Peter who looked after us for the next 4 days, making sure we were on time for all activities as well as sharing knowledge throughout the drives between locations. They arranged activities including Gorilla trekking, Golden Monkey trekking as well as a boat tour on Lake Kivu. Everything was perfect. I will be recommending friends and family to visit Rwanda and to use Lion Safaris.
