Tour operator was extremely helpful, booking an amazing itinerary, and responding to our questions
5/5

The whole trip was amazing. The highlights of our trip were spending time with the gorillas and the ~5 hour mountain hike. We didn’t realize that we would be so close to the gorillas! The hike was incredible, but probably at the high end of intermediate. I would recommend training before taking on Mt Bisoke. We enjoyed a beautiful view of the mountain peak and a large caldera at the top. Would recommend spacing activities out as it does take 3+ hours to go from one destination to the next and taking a lot of snacks with you.

Magic !
5/5

We did the 7-day "Best of Rwanda-Uganda Primate Safari" tour.
This tour is magnificent!! The drive between sites can be long, but each activity is well worth the time spent on the road or on the difficult trails! Special mention goes to the gorilla tour in Uganda: an hour of wonder with these gentle giants with such expressive eyes!
We had the privilege of going as a couple and thank the agency for maintaining this tour with such a small group!
Thank you to Franck for his responsiveness and precise answers regarding the organization of the tour and his support in Uganda.
And a big thank you to our driver-guide Justin, who did everything he could to make this trip informative, enjoyable, and relaxing; with professionalism and seriousness, but always with kindness, a smile, and concern for our well-being. We felt safe at every moment, and that's worth its weight in gold!
I unreservedly recommend this agency, this tour, and this guide! ;)

Arafath was a reply nice tour operator. He could tell nice stories about the animals en nature.
5/5

We had a great experience. Arafath, our guide, picked us up on time and brought us to the rhinos. Here he could tell a lot about nature and animals. He had arranged a good lunch with the rhinos, with local dishes. After this we went to the waterfalls and then to our hotel. Our guide indicated that if something was not right he would take care of it. Fortunately, this was not necessary and we had a good stay. The next day we have an extensive and fun game drive and a boat trip on the Nile. All in all, we are very happy with Silverbird, and we will definitely use their service again in the future!

The perfect balance of professionalism, warmth, and local insight — truly an unforgettable experienc
5/5

Aristide agreed to take us to a few places we thought were interesting, and we decided to go with him because he was the only driver who hadn’t tried to overcharge us. From there, he suggested other cool spots based on what we were looking for. He took us to the Cavico craft market, the genocide memorial, a fantastic restaurant called Sundowner with a buffet of local food, and some well-known neighborhoods. He even showed us the city viewpoint and the downtown market so we could experience everyday life in Kigali, which we did not talk about at the beginning without asking any extra. It was a very good price! I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. His mix of professionalism and warmth makes him an exceptional guide who goes above and beyond to make every moment unforgettable. Thank you Aristide!
