A wonderful experience
I did a one day Safari trip to Akagera and it was a highlight of my trip to Rwanda and Golden Rwanda Safari played a HUGE part in this.
First of all, it was very last minute. I decided to do it based on friend's experience and I booked it the evening before the trip. It was the only possibility for me and they accepted my request, no problem.
Second, my driver Mico is such a nice guide. He will do everything he can for you to have a great experience and see as much as animals as possible. I felt really at ease with him.
Third, the breakfast was excellent! So much choice!
Finally and most importantly, the Akagera park is beautiful and you will get to see so many animals in their habitat. I saw a mama Rhino and her baby and it was incredible.
I can only recommend Golden Rwanda Safari. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing first safari in Rwanda!
This was my first African safari experience, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Golden Rwanda Safari was recommended to me and did not disappoint!
My guide was Muhammad and he was fun, informative and flexible! Great communication and I got to see 4 of the big 5, lots of zebra, giraffes, baboons, hippoes & birds galore!

Highly recommended - had an amazing experience
I had an amazing experience with Golden Rwanda Safaris. Frank, the owner, was incredibly responsive as I booked and coordinated the trip via both email and WhatsApp and Sufiane was an absolutely amazing guide. He was extremely friendly, fun to hang out with, and had an amazing knowledge of the park and all of the animals that we saw. His ability to spot animals and point them out to me was insane. He spotted a few lions in the tall grass and was very patient with me as it took me more than 5 minutes to see them myself.
Overall, the experience was incredible and I plan on booking with them again the next time I'm in Rwanda.

Great service - super friendly and helpful
Myself and a colleague were in Rwanda for a business trip and decided to take advantage with a few days in the national park.
The company was very communicative and easy to deal with. The service from Sufiani as our guide / driver was also great - very helpful, friendly, and knowledgable from the outset, picked us straight up from the airport and solved any issue or request we had over the 3/4 days. Would definitely recommend đź‘Ť
Hopefully will be back with the family at some point, and would defintely use again.

Responsive, reliable, and responsible
We just returned from Akagera National Park in Rwanda. There were quite a few tour operators to choose from as we were planning our trip and making a selection was a little overwhelming. We finally settled on Golden Rwanda Safaris because Frank (the owner) was extremely responsive on WhatsApp. The other companies I contacted either never responded or responded with an itinerary and never followed up. I am glad we went with GRS. I was initially worried about booking a tour from the US and the legitimacy of the business, if you share the same concerns just know this is a legitimate business.
We did a 5 day- 4 night tour of Akagera National Park, and it was amazing. GRS provided transportation and a guide throughout that time. It was all-inclusive so we didn’t have to worry about anything from the moment we stepped into the safari jeep. Our guide, Taufique, was amazing to experience the park with. He was passionate about the park and its resident animals. We saw just about everything from dwarf mongoose to lions. The highlight for me was spending two hours observing a herd of 60 elephants!! We didn’t feel rushed at any point in time.
All in all it was an extremely successful trip. Upon our return to Kigali, Taufique, did a quick tour of the city to kill time until we could check in for our flight home. We were very appreciative to not sit in the Kigali airport for 6 hours.
If you are considering GRS as your tour operator, I highly recommend them. You may also want to see if you can get Taufique as your guide. I have to also give a shoutout to Marc and Joshua who were our guides around Kigali for a day.
A week prior to our safari tour, we made arrangements with GRS to take us around Kigali. Marc and Joshua took us around and was very accommodating as well. Joshua and Marc were very protective of us as we went into the local market and were swarmed by shop owners. Marc and Joshua were great.

Incredible one-day excursion to Akagera
Golden Safari provided an amazing experience for our one-day trip to Akagera National Park. Frank and his staff in the office were great to deal with in making the booking.
Our guide Mico was a real pro, and knew exactly where to go. Although there is a lot of luck involved in what you see, he got us to the best spots and the luck followed. As such, for the first time in his career, we saw all of the 'Big 5' in one day (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhinoceros), and that was on top of all the other wildlife we saw. A real top notch experience, and would gladly book woth them and Mico again.

Very organized and professional tour
Golden Rwanda organized a gorilla trek for us from Kigali. They were very responsive and professional, and accommodating to our requests. They were a great company to work with.

Over and beyond service.
My recent travel to Rwanda wasn't the adventure I planned. Unfortunately, I got appendicitis the first day I arrived and had to be rushed to the hospital for an emergency appendectomy. Even with such an unfortunate incident, Taufique and Frank were there with me the whole time. I was traveling alone and Taufique became a brother more than a tour guide. The assistance they provided during the whole course from hospitalization to recovery were beyond what they were supposed to do and with that I am forever grateful to this new family I have in Rwanda. If I can give more stars beyond 5 stars in this review I would. I owe my life to them. Thank you once again and I will be back and see you guys again!

Good service
My trip to Rwanda was a great experience with my tour guides Sufiani and Taufique. They provided excellent service throughout my trip. Sufiani always shared knowledge about the many mountains in Rwanda.

Your best Tour Operator in Rwanda
I recently traveled to Rwanda with a group of 12 people, and we had a wonderful experience. We hiked in Volcanoes National Park, climbed Mount Karisimbi, and explored Kigali. I am extremely satisfied with the service provided by Golden Rwanda Safaris, both before and during our trip; their support was exceptional.
Our driver-guide, Taufique, was knowledgeable and always available to drive us around the city, showing us the best places in Rwanda (ask him for the best coffee shops). The hiking arrangements at Volcanoes National Park were professionally organized, and we had the time of our lives.
I am already planning my second trip to explore more of Rwanda, and I highly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris for your travel plans. Thank you!
