Great communication and great adventure !
Great experience with Empirical Tour and Travel ! It was my first time traveling solo, and my first time in Rwanda. The communication prior to the trip was great. Eraste was very patient with all my questions and took the time to answer them all. The activities organized by Eraste were all great and well chosen. I felt safe the entire time I was with Eraste and Innocent. I recommend Empirical for your rwandan adventure !

Good Communication & Experience
My sister & I booked a 1-day Bisoke Mountain hike with Empirical tours and Eraste. The communication prior to the tour was excellent and he picked us up from our hotel exactly on time. He drove us to the hike where we were escorted by park rangers. When finished with the hike, he took us to dinner in Musanze and then back to Kigali. It was a long day and Eraste was happy to tell us about his country and the villages and cities we drove through. We had a great time on the hike - the views were stunning. We felt safe the entire time.

Lovely tour!
I had an incredible experience with Empirical Tour And Travel during my one-day gorilla trek in Rwanda. From start to finish, everything was seamless and professionally handled. They picked me up on time, drove me about 2.5 hours to the park, and took care of all the logistics so I could just focus on the experience itself.
A huge thank-you to Eraste, my guide for the day. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the gorillas and conservation efforts. He explained everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable throughout the day, and added so much context that made the trek even more meaningful.
Seeing the gorillas up close was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and having such a well-organized company and an excellent guide made all the difference. I highly recommend Empirical Tour And Travel—especially Eraste—if you’re planning a gorilla trek in Rwanda.

Awesome
I have known Eraste for over 6 years, since around 2019, through the Instagram page of his tour company. In 2025, I used his services to do a solo gorilla trekking in Rwanda and I had an amazing time. He has one of the cheapest rates in Rwanda. I highly recommend him.
