Gerard was kind, informative, and reliable.
Gerard was our guide on this wonderful tour. He picked us up very early in the morning from Rwanda and drove us to Uganda to see the gorillas same day. He provided extremely comfortable neck pillows and we were able to sleep in the car nearly the entire drive. He was extremely reliable, had great communication, and was extremely knowledgeable about history of Rwanda. He was open to talking to us about everything we asked. The gorilla tour itself was wonderful. We were in a small group (about 6 of us total) with 2 guides. There was a group of trekkers from the company who went ahead of us to find where the gorillas would be so to make an easier time for us. Once we arrived with the gorillas, there were 4 professional trekkers there. We felt extremely safe as the staff was knowledgeable and seasoned. Overall, we trekked about 1-1.5 hours to find the gorillas, spend 1 hour with them, and hiked 1 hour back. Gerard was so amazing that he was flexible planning whatever we wanted to do. We drove through the towns in Uganda and Rwanda while learning about the history from him. We were particularly interested in visiting the Rwandan genocide Museum, which Gerard was able to make happen for us before closing. He even added a few extra stops to show us important historical sites throughout the city. The visa situation (coming from USA) was a breeze, as Gerard and Anna had prepared us for everything before hand, and it barely took any time to cross the border. Overall, I could not recommend this company more. The entire staff was extremely responsive, reliable, knowledgeable, and showed us a wonderful and very safe time. We are so grateful and would highly recommend the service!

Wonderful honeymoon experience with perfect customer service and attention to detail
My wife and I used East Africa Safari Tours and had the absolute best time. We're from the US and we were worried about communication but the team has US and Rwanda presence which made for fast response times to all of our questions and concerns. The team on the ground is exceptional, timely, and hospitable.
We did 2 days gorillas and 1 day monkeys. our second day of doing gorillas was better than our first so I am VERY happy we tacked on another day. It is true that the different families have different personalities.
Thanks again to Anna , Bora, ad Gerrard's hospitality.

A great experience
Sam and Bora picked us up in our hotel in Kigali. The 2-days trip was fantastic. We saw a lot of animals, the guides knew how to make our trip a great experience.
They know a lot about animals and we learned a lot. Sam and Bora are incredibly friendly, professional and attentive at all time and worrying that everything was fine.

Excellent Service and great women to meet and be around
The service by far exceeded our expectations. When one member of our group had broken shoes they even would go out of their way in order to find a solution for that problem.
We had a great time and enjoyed these young women ' s company.

Perfect organisation, lovely ladies!
Anna from East Africa Safari Tours is lovely and perfectly organised our trip to see the gorillas. Together with Bora, she took very well care of us and they both came to meet us at the hotel the day before the gorilla trekking. They were very helpful in answering all our questions. We were picked up right time and everything went really well. When I had a problem with my hiking boots, Bora quickly helped me out with her own. We were a group of 4 women and it was very refreshing to have two women taking care of us. They were doing everything for our wellbeing and that we get the most out of our trip! I can only recommend East Africa Safari Tours and thank them very much for organising an unforgettable trip for us!

East Africa Safari Tours is a reliable and professional operator that provided an amazing experience
East Africa Safari Tours took us on a 1-day safari to Akagera. Anna was very helpful and response to the organizing of this tour and Sam was an excellent guide with great knowledge of the park and its wildlife. I will definitely be calling East Africa Safari Tours for my next adventure in Rwanda.

Fantastic and efficient one day tour
The communication when booking the tour was great. They even sent me a reminder the night before so I wouldn't forget the 3am start time. Gerrard my tour guide was super helpful and kind. Would recommend Mgahinga over Bwindi as the trek tends to be shorter and less tiring. Also closer to the Rwanda border if you're driving over from Kigali for a day like I did. Recommendation to future tourists would be to take plenty of money for tips (although they are optional) for the trackers, rangers, the porters, the guide once you get to the national park and your tour operator guide/driver. Overall a memorable day and we were able to get very close to the gorillas which I wasn't expecting!

Very helpful, and experienced in what they do.
We were delighted to use their services. Our driver, Gerald, was very friendly and helpful. He was very knowledgeable about the natural park we visited and drove very carefully. If we return to Rwanda, we will use them again to explore the country. Thank you very much.
