Excellent trip to Akagera national park, Rwanda with Frank
5/5

Frank did an excellent job, taking us on this tour of Akagera National Park. He drove us there from Kigali, then we stayed in the game lodge, then the next day we did a day long game ride, and then drove back to Kigali. Frank was excellent in everything. He had a lot of information about the history of the park, what kinds of animals are in there, and other sights along the way. The drive back and forth was very comfortable - he had a great car that was perfect for the 4 adults and the 2 small children we had with us. Once we got to the park, he had great advice on how to go about the game ride, to maximize the chances of seeing all kinds of animals. He was able to show us most of the big 5 animals, even though of course there's no guarantee you'll see them. The adults and especially the 2 small children (ages 3 and 5) loved the full experience. We will definitely recommend Frank to everyone who is visiting Rwanda, and we will definitely go on safari with him again on our next trip!

The Best journey in Rwanda
5/5

Very good journey, the 4WD is very comfortable.
The driver is also very hard to explain to me, whether it is on the road or animals.
It is very recommended.

Best day of my trip - AMAZING guide
5/5

Frank was so wonderful. I was nervous about going on a tour alone, but I shouldn't have been. He is very professional and kind and knowledgable. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

A truly African adventure
5/5

We were very fortunate to have picked Golden Rwanda Safaris headed up by Frank. We went on a day safari to Akagera National Park with Frank in his very modern V8 diesel Toyota land cruiser. We picked up a game scout from the main office when we arrived to join us who was very knowledgeable about everything to do with the park. We saw many animals, birds and butterflies. Massive thanks to Frank we very much enjoyed our trip and Rwanda is a remarkable country all round. Now my wife Carol wants to come and live in Rwanda!

Most reliable tour operator providing top quality services at honest price
5/5

Benoit managed to accommodate us with two cars and a fantastic guide (Fabrice) at the very last minute. The quality of the overall service was top notch, all the while being the cheapest option we have found in Kigali. We all highly recommend this your operator, for being so reliable, honest and providing the best service. Great value for money!

A great game drive!
5/5

This tour was very professional! Frank was a great guide and I had so much fun learning about the animals and driving around to find them. The service was great, on time and everything was advertised perfectly. The communication was great and easy to coordinate! Highly recommend!

Friendly & reliable services for individual travelers during our 12 day Rwanda tour
5/5

Just completed a 12 day tour of Rwanda/Uganda, organised by Golden Rwanda Safaris. Thank you so Much Frank B. Kanyamutara and your team for your professionalism!

We spent 2 of the 12 days in Uganda to see the gorillas with the rest of the time travelling around Rwanda.

Golden Rwanda Safaris were quick in answering questions we had regarding possible tours, including budget and type of activities we were interested in.

We were originally going to climb Mt Nyiragongo in DRC but this was not viable shortly after we booked the trip due to security concerns. Golden Rwanda Safaris offered a different hike as an alternative in Rwanda.

Our trip went incredibly smoothly from the outset with zero issues. This surprised me actually. We were in good hands our guide (Emile). We paid the money via their online payment gateway and needn't have bothered with caution really. We paid the final installment during the trip.

Our trip included:

Gorillas ( Rwanda & Uganda), Batwa pygmy Community (Uganda), Golden monkeys
Mt Bisoke hike, Visit to 2 cultural centers (Iby'iwacu), One day at Gisenyi (including boat ride), Chimps at Nyungwe, Nature walk + Canopy walk at Nyungwe, Couple of game drives and a boat ride in Akagera

If I were to do it again I would try to do gorillas in Rwanda (looks easier) even with the higher cost

Only go to one of the cultural centers if pressed for time.

It is very important for me to find reliable service providers while travelling, especially if I am travelling by myself. Three years ago, Golden Rwanda Safaris helped me get to the National Park in Uganda, Musanze and back to Kigali in a very efficient and uncomplicated way. Now back in Rwanda, they helped me in the same friendly and reliable manner -with very short notice! Thank you Golden Rwanda Safaris Tours for assisting me again.

I had indeed a marvelous stay in the National Park and surroundings.

our 11 days Combined Rwanda and Uganda (Easy booking process, Great Service, Knowledgeable Guide)
5/5

Our guide/driver Jean Marie Kagaba is one of the best. He spent several days with us taking us through our stops in Rwanda and Uganda. He speaks multiple languages and is well connected with the vendors and establishments. Jean Marie far exceeded our expectations of a guide/driver. Their equipment (They took us in First car Toyota Land Cruiser, of course) was well maintained and clean. what I like mostly was Booking process, they have e-payment and you pay by either Debit or credit card and it become very useful us while we don't like to carry money and also reducing Bank transfer charges. high recommended they e-payment system. can't thanks enough Frank and Jacky from my initial contact.

During our 11 days trip to Rwanda to see the mountain Gorillas but Jean Marie Kagaba’s professionalism and expertise meant we got so much more than we expected. He is rightfully very proud of his country, the government and what they have achieved in 20 short years since the genocide. He was always punctual, informative, answered our hundreds of questions with good grace and was relaxed and cheerful throughout. If we go back to Rwanda we will definitely use GOLDEN RWANDA SAFARIS . Thank you so much.


All-in-ll a wonderful trip and would definitely recommend entrusting your safari to this company.
