Very responsive and detailed oriented, great customer service.
I was in Rwanda for work and had 1 Saturday free, as a solo female traveler, I was a little nervous to sign up for a safari by myself, but I'm glad I did. I'm grateful for all of Golden Rwanda Safari's support in the process and had a really great experience the day of the safari. My guide worked very hard to find all the animals in the park that were on my top list and was very informational about their habitats and behaviors. The breakfast and lunch were excellent as well.

Great day all round!
We had a fabulous safari in Akagera with Jean Claude. We felt like VIPs having a guide to ourselves, and he took care of us very well with regular comfort breaks and an excellent breakfast and lunch. Jean Claude kept in contact with other guides to help locate the animals which meant our safari was incredibly successful and we took some fantastic pictures and videos. He was also very friendly and knowledgable. We thoroughly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris

Mugisha was a very kind, professional, informative and respectful tour guide.
We had the experience of a lifetime with Mugisha on the Akagera Safari. We started out with the most incredible breakfast that was completely unexpected. Then on to the safari. Mugisha was amazing at helping us spot all of our favourite animals. Of the Rwanda 'big 5', we saw 3 up close. It was such a hot day the cats (lion and leopard) were somewhere hiding in the shade. But that's OK because we saw so much more. Mugisha was an amazing driver on the very bumpy (but fun!) roads. Lunch was another unexpected surprise at a lovely 'cafe' overlooking a lake. Perfect. The vehicle was so much fun with the pop-up roof and we were able to spot a lot of animals. I would highly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris. The communication beforehand and afterwards was fantastic. Frank, the owner, was very quick to respond to all of my queries.
We hope to return to Rwanda in the near future and will definitely book a Gorilla Trek with Golden Safaris. Thank you to Mugisha and Frank.

Knowledgable, Creative, Kind, and AWESOME
Golden Rwanda Safaris provided a tour that was customized to fit our tight schedule but desire to see ALL aspects of Rwanda. Our tour guide was picked for all of those requirements and was not only able to keep us on schedule but show us and explain to us some very important aspects of the country. We loved every moment of the trip and will not only use Golden Rwanda Safaris again but request the same tour guide too. Thank you!

Excellent safari
Had an excellent 1-day safari with Golden Rwanda safari’s and Emile as a guide. Picked up right outside our rented house in Kigali at 4am. Driving through Akagera for about 5 hours in perfect weather and saw a lot of animals.
Highly recommended

Highly service-oriented, customer-centered tour operator
I had a great time during a one-day tour in Akagera park in Rwanda.
Great tour guide, huge knowledge of the park and wildlife, tried everything to make me see a lot of animals.
I also did the boat tour that can be booked additionally. Definitely worth it!
Only think I would not do again, would be booking the meals. Would just bring or buy it for myself. Don't think the extra price you pay for that reflects the actual price and quality of the food you get. It's no issue at all to bring your own, or buy it in the lodge restaurant.
Otherwise, all was great.

Really outstanding company with outstanding guides
Frank and his team made our journey in Rwanda memorable.
They helped us organizing our trip that included some charity work and safari.
The entire team showed great professionalism, flexibility and kindness.
We were a big group and they managed impeccably. The team was very kind and patient with the kids.
In the safari part they managed to let us see the Big 5.
I highly recommend them and definitely use them next tome I travel to Rwanda to go see the Gorillas!

A DREAM COME TRUE EXPERIENCE!
The owner of Golden Rwanda Safaris, Frank, exceeded our expectations. He gave us a superb itinerary which included Nyungwe Chimpanzee Trekking, Volcano National park, Gorilla, Monkeys & Akagera National park. Besides the breathtaking adventure of the chimpanzees, gorillas, and golden monkeys, we saw retriever monkeys. We were privileged and ecstatic to see elephants, giraffes, hippos, Zebras, waterbucks, pumbas, Nile crocodiles, an owl, and more. We experienced jungle, woodlands, swamps, lakes, and the Savannah.
Our guide and driver, Anaclet, was a wealth of knowledge and professionalism. There was a good mix of cultural activities including the King’s Palace, Inema Arts Center, and the Genocide Memorial in Kigali. We also went to Mount Kigali and did zip lining.
We highly recommend this established, locally-owned company. Golden Rwanda Safaris was always quick and conscientious to respond to inquiries and we would use them again. They worked within our budget and all accommodations were welcoming, spacious, spotless, and the service and food everywhere was excellent. The vehicles were cleaned everyday and they were comfortable and modern. We felt very safe during the COVID pandemic too.
We made the most wonderful memories in our hearts and on our cameras. A true trip of a lifetime.
Best way to see Akagera
This is really great value for money. If you have the chance, go with Jean Claude. He is the nicest person and he really goes the extra mile to make sure that you have the greatest experience possible - and that you see as many animals as possible. Fully recommend booking with Golden Rwanda Safari.
