Guide Jean Claude Makes Your Safari Extra Special!
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!

Amazing!
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!
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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!
