Seamless tour, amazing experience
I did the 3 day, 2 night gorilla/golden monkey tour. Hermosa Life were extremely flexible and accommodating after a flight delay left me unable to see the gorillas on the scheduled day, converting the gorilla trek to a later day trip due to my own work conflicts. Richard was an amazing tour guide - he took care of everything and was super knowledgeable and friendly. When we decided we wanted to go to the Genocide Museum the following day, he made sure the audio guides were paid for and waiting for us, and he even helped me pick up clothes I had made at Kimironko market. He made the experience so simple for me so I could spend all my time just enjoying the golden monkeys and gorillas! A truly amazing experience!

Exceptional accomodations, transportation and most importantly service
We just got back from our 5 day, 4 night primate trekking in Rwanda with Hermosa Life Tours and Travel. The accomodations and transportation are excellent. From the moment we were met at the airport upon our arrival to the time we were dropped off, our driver/guide, Pacifique, provided top-notched service. He was knowledgeable, professional, punctual and helpful with an outstanding personality. His positivity and upbeat demeanor made our whole trip with him much more enjoyable. An example of him going above and beyond his duties is that one of our travel companions' belt broke right before the gorilla trekking. Pacifique let him borrow the belt he was wearing for the next two days until he was able to take us to a place where we can buy a belt back in Kigali. Hermosa Life & Tours is very lucky to have Pacifique on their team.

Thank you Hermosa Life Tours, Much Appreciated
I have contacted this tour compay for our group tour to Akagera from Kigali and our guide Damascene was very professional and managed to see all big five in Akagera Park. He was on time starting from our Homes to the end. He is very knowledgeable and some foreigners together in the tour promised to send more Tourists to Rwanda because he gave all beyond the tour itself, they will come to see the Gorillas in the volcanoes park in December. Thank you so much Damacene and Hermosa Life Tours

Fantastic Experience
The team at Hermosa have been brilliant from the very first contact. We had some restrictions due to work and travel arrangements and they were accommodating to our timing constraints. The whole experience was amazing and Gordon was brilliant and again his flexibility was really appreciated. Can't fault the service ! Thank you - I will be back.

Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking with Hermosa – Guide Abu Was Outstanding!
We had an incredible gorilla tracking experience in Rwanda with Hermosa, and our guide Abu made it absolutely seamless from start to finish.
Abu picked us up from Kigali right on time and ensured everything went smoothly throughout the day. After our once-in-a-lifetime trek to see the gorillas, he even helped us find a place to clean up and freshen up before heading back. That extra effort really meant a lot!
He then dropped us off at the airport perfectly on time, making the entire journey stress-free. Abu was kind, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile. His service and hospitality were truly exceptional.
We highly recommend Hermosa and especially Abu if you're planning a gorilla trekking adventure in Rwanda. You’ll be in the best hands!
Hermosa Life Tours is professional, responsive, and made our gorilla trek smooth and unforgettable.
Gorilla Trekking – Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda
We took a one-day Gorilla trekking tour in Rwanda from Kigali, including same-day airport drop-off, through Hermosa Life Travel and Tours. We had a great experience planning the tour—they were responsive, flexible, and very helpful in accommodating our requests and answering all our questions.
Aboubakar was our guide, and he did a fantastic job from the moment he picked us up at our hotel in Kigali to when he dropped us off at the airport for our next adventure. He arrived promptly at 4:30 AM and drove us about 2.5 to 3 hours through Rwanda’s beautiful, hilly countryside to Volcanoes National Park. The scenery along the way was stunning, with endless green hills as far as the eye could see.
Aboubakar was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour extra special. He handled all the paperwork and check-in at the park efficiently, which made everything smooth for us. After the morning briefing at the park center, he drove us another 45 minutes along bumpy African roads to the trekking start point, sharing funny stories and past gorilla trekking experiences along the way.
Our trekking group consisted of six tourists, including the two of us. The hike took a little over two hours as we ascended to higher altitudes through bamboo forests and muddy terrain, accompanied by trekkers, porters, and a park ranger. We eventually reached the Isimbi gorilla family, a group of 19 mountain gorillas, and spent an incredible hour with them. The scenery throughout the trek was breathtaking, and the time we spent observing the gorillas up close just a few feet away was truly remarkable. We quietly watched them in their natural habitat, an experience we will never forget. The entire trek, including the hour spent with the gorillas, lasted around five hours.
After the trek, we returned to our vehicle with very muddy shoes, even though we had worn gaiters. Aboubakar had helped us get the gaiters before the trek and went the extra mile to fulfill our request by finding a place along the way where we could clean up and freshen up before heading to the airport. He was incredibly helpful and truly made our day extra special.
Highly recommend Hermosa Life Tours for a professional, friendly, and unforgettable Rwanda trip.

An unforgettable trip to Rwanda!
We travelled as a family, a couple with an almost-16-year-old Guy and had an incredible experience. The landscapes are stunning, the people inspiring, and our guide Abou made the trip truly special. Knowledgeable, kind and engaging, he managed to keep us hooked from start to finish. A big thank you to him for such a unique and meaningful journey.

Incredible tour, unforgettable!! 5***
We booked this trip based on your reviews and they weren’t wrong, It was my birthday and I had the most incredible unforgettable stay.
The booking process was incredibly easy, and once we arrived in Kigali, Richard collected us from the airport and the whole trip went perfectly from there.
Richard is a great guide, not only super knowledgeable but he had a great laugh with us and we loved having him on the trip. Always early and ready and waiting for the day ahead. He dealt with everything and we couldn’t have had an easier time! He also made my birthday really special.
The gorilla trek was an unforgettable experience and I had the most amazing birthday.
If you’re reading this and thinking about booking - do!! And ask for Richard 😊
