Amazing!
5/5

Had the best time from organising the trip with Frank to the safari itself! I was a solo female traveler so my mind was put at ease with the quick responses to all my questions. My guide muhamed was 10/10, I had so much fun, felt safe and a life long memories were made!

Guide Jean Claude Makes Your Safari Extra Special!
5/5

Our 3-day, 2-night safari to Akagera National Park was the fulfilment of a bucket wish list item. And our guide, Jean Claude, made the game drives even more exciting. We did a total of 4 game drives including one night drive led by Akagera National Park guide. Worth the money! Golden Rwanda Safari staff have provided us with a positive, memorable experience, were professional and accommodating, and answered our many questions before and after payment. In fact, the process to make payment is very easy and convenient for the user. Jean Claude, who has a degree in travel and tourism, is well-educated on and willingly shares his knowledge on Rwanda and wild game including the many birds and fauna in the national park. He worked hard and did not give up on helping us find elephants in the North on our last drive. Akagera Game Lodge is a top notch hotel which has kept its guests' needs in mind. The front office and F&B staff are all very friendly, helpful and just want to make sure your stay is not just enjoyable, but memorable!

An Amazing Day Trip
5/5

We booked a 1-day trip to Akagera with my sister and we really enjoyed it. We appreciated the whole experience from booking to the actual visit to the park. We were able to see many animals such as baboons, impalas, elephants, zebras, eagles, hippos, crocodiles... Next time, we will book more says in order to enjoy the night and boat safari as well as visit other national parcs. I really recommend Golden Safari Rwanda and will surely come back!

Amazing experience, well above any expectations.
5/5

I vetted five Safaris Company in Rwanda in August 2021 and there were some robust reasons for choosing Golden Rwanda. Mr.Frank who is the operator is very responsive, courteous and the ability to work together to accommodate a group of 37 people where 25 were children was outstanding in a project that comprised of two humanitarian schemes and one Safari. Not only Frank but all drivers were attentive, well informed about all aspects of Rwanda ( Wildlife, Political, Social) and above all, they are “people to people “. Recommended without hesitation.

Golden Rwanda Safaris was outstanding from A to Z. Every aspect was wonderful.
5/5

We spent three days/nights in Akagera National Park in the lush green of the November wet season. Golden Rwanda Safaris took great care of us from pick up to drop off. The selection of accommodations was fantastic; the Akagera Game Lodge was wonderful and the Karenge Bush Camp was "glamping" of the best kind -- superb food and service all along. Most important, our guide and driver Bosco was kind and knowledgeable and very committed to doing a great job. Because of his good decisions, we saw elephants, giraffe, lions, hippos, impala and an amazing array of birds etc., all just feet away. The night drive is highly recommended -- as long as you don't mind watching lions catch and eat a zebra. The boat tour of Lake Ikema was also a treasured experience, so many birds and scary crocodiles. So much fun and Golden Rwanda Safaris and Bosco made it happen.

Fantastic team, great safari trucks, and tailor-made tours
5/5

The owner, Frank, is very responsive and will make sure you have an amazing holiday in Rwanda.
His team is world-class and super family-friendly. We had a lot of kids in our group and they all loved Frank's tour guides, especially Iddy, Jean Paul, and Jean Marie. But honestly all of them are very kind, very very helpful and a joy to be with.

We did a vetting involving the top 5 rates tour agencies in Rwanda. Based on our pre-trip screening, Golden Rwanda, came out ranked no. 1. This was based on responsiveness, price competitiveness, and overall product appeal.

Having just returned for an 8-day trip with Golden Rwanda, I can say that Frank and his team are fully deserving of their no. 1 ranking.

Superb service and impressive resourcefulness
5/5

Frank was immensely helpful and reliable in facilitating our trip to Akagera National Park from Kigali. He was able to create a package that catered to our specific needs. Never having been in Rwanda before, he took all headaches of organising and planning into his hands even when he didn't need to. He ensured he personally conveyed us to our destination and back, making sure we were catered to along the way i.e. asking if we want to stop for coffee, rest breaks, offering interesting stories about Rwanda and its parks. The drive was an experience in of itself thanks to Frank. I would highly recommend everyone use Golden Rwanda Safaris for all tourist activities in Rwanda.

Frank and team were everything we hoped a tour operator would be: caring, responsive, honest
5/5

GoldenRwanda were excellent tour operators, as good as we hoped for. Frank and Gad were extremely responsive and communicative by email, always got a response within a few hours. They were able to adapt quickly to our changing plans both before and during the trip. The trip was exactly as promised, no "bait and switch", and given the expense of individual permits, was good value for money. The residences were stellar and top quality even in remote areas, clean and with great hospitality, Our driver Jean-Claude became our friend and family. The cars were very comfortable and we felt completely safe and secure even on poor roads. Our tour covered Kigali and 3 NPs in 3 different corners of Rwanda, Nyungwe, Volcanoes, and Akagera. The encounters with gorillas and chimpanzees we shall remember for the rest of our lives. Our experiences in Kigali, including the genocide memorial, were unforgettable, and Rwanda is a moving tribute to the human spirit and its ability to move beyond unimaginable horror to recover humanity, humility and hospitality. Rwanda is one of the most beautiful places in the world, both visually and spiritually, and noone should miss the opportunity to visit if they can. And for those who do visit, GoldenRwanda will be among the best possible hosts and guides for the trip.
