Great service from start to finish
Golden Rwanda Safari were great from working with me to modify the tour to fit my interests and time, through to first pick up and drop off at the airport. Jean Claude, my driver guide, was thoughtful and attentive, providing me with useful information throughout our time together. The experiences in Volcanoes National Park were exceptional, as was the accommodation at the 5 Volcanoes. Definitely recommend, and I hope to be able to travel with them myself again soon

Professional and Friendly!
Our trip (my family) was organized and guided by Golden Rwanda Safari. From the word go...it was conducted in a professional and friendly manner and we had an awesome experience enjoying the wild life and animals of Akagera National Park! The guide made sure we had an amazing trip.
Thank you.

Kind and responsive to our request
For all of us was the first safari ever and we're more than excited now. Taufique was a wonderful and very kind guide! He showed us the wonders of Akagera Park, stopping each time we asked him in the perfect spots to look at the animals!
The experience was amazing even though it rained at certain times, in fact, thanks to the opening jeep roof we spotted lots of animals: giraffes, elephants, antelopes, baboons, hippos, and thanks to the funny and immersive boat trip option even a crocodile in the lake!
We had just some troubles with the pickup time, cause the jeep broke a few minutes before and the guide was a little bit late, but we forgot immediately this little problem thanks to the amazing and unique experience that Taufique gave us live!

best tour guides on the planet
it was a rather spontaneous trip but the tour operator and especially the tour guide who was assigned to me made it a great experience. i really knew they love what they do and care about the animals, environment and their customers so much. very welcoming people, the safari was great even though i missed out on lions and leopards. Got to see a huge herd of giraffes as well as hippos, elefants, and thousands of zebras and impalas though :) 10/10 would do it again

Extremely helpful! Well knowledgeable! Cost effective! And crazy fun!
The tour was amazing! We did a 2 night 3 day trip to Akagera and had a wonderful time with our group of 4. The owner of the company was super responsive. All my questions about the trip were answered quickly and appropriately. For my first time planning a trip, this company made it easy. They were willing to help us plan a trip that involved all we wanted to do including camping instead of staying at a hotel. The tour guide himself was on time and knowledgeable and willing to help and went out of his way to make the experience successful. The costs were also kept at a reasonable price. The safari car was a little older but it was still comfy for the multiple hour drives! Would have loved a way to charge our phones since we camped though haha. I would definitely recommend this company and will likely use this company again!

Patient!
Mugisha was a very patient driver. It was my first time visiting Akagera Park with a group of 4 people and because of Mugisha, we were able to see many amazing animals and take many many pictures!! Would definitely recommend Golden Safari with Mugisha

Excellent
I did a 7-day tour of Rwanda and Congo and it was exceptional. I was a solo female traveller and felt completely safe the whole time. I visited the gorillas in Kahuzi Biega National Park (Congo) which was definitely one of the highlights of the entire trip! The vibe in Congo is totally wild so be prepared! :D My guide Freddy and driver Claude were so kind and professional and always made sure I had everything I needed for the day. On days where there were fewer activities, Freddy arranged to drive around Bukavu and the surrounding villages to visit interesting sites because I told him I love being immersed in a new city to see how people live and just soak in the atmosphere. When I headed back to the Rwanda side, Taufique was at the border to pick me up and everything went as smoothly as the first crossing. I got to visit Nyungwe National Park for several activities including tracking chimpanzees (amazing!!), hiking to a waterfall (beautiful!!!), and another hike through one of the most spectacular landscapes I’ve ever seen. My flight home wasn’t until the night after the tour ended so Taufique arranged a day tour of Kigali which was fantastic! The people, hotels, food, the whole thing was fabulous. Highly recommend! Remember proof of Yellow Fever vaccination and mosquito spray :))

Thoughtful, service minded and a good organiser
The 6-day trip organised by Golden Rwanda Safaris for me and my father was a great experience to a beautiful country. The schedule, which was "tailor made" to our demands, was well planned for us to experience all the facets of the country, while at the same time allowing for time to fully embrace each different place along the way. In terms of service and hospitality, the offering was sublime, and thanks to our with guide's flexibility and consideration, we were able to visit nice spots for lunch/coffee-breaks/etc. in between the planned activities as well. Finally, our guide was great company, sharing facts and telling stories about the different visits along the way.

Excellent service and unique experience
It was an absolute pleasure to experience the amazing service of The Golden Rwanda Safari. I have booked the 1-day Akagera National Park game drive and was travelling by myself. Starting from the beginning, with booking till the end it was great. All my enquiries were answered promptly and nicely by Frank (the owner). Also, before the game drive, I was provided with all the necessary information and things to carry (rain jacket etc.) This made my trip well prepared.
It was my first time in Africa and I am glad I travelled to Rwanda and experienced the safari with them. My guide was Taufique. If you travel here, make sure to ask for him. It was a pleasure to travel with him. He is very knowledgeable and was always on top in planning. I was able to spot numerous wildlife, more than I could expect. He answered all my questions so nicely. It was also great to learn a lot about Rwandan culture and history from him.
I would 100% recommend Taufique as a guide and Golden Rwanda Travels for any tours and safaris. They have the best customer service!!!
