Unforgettable Experience!
What an amazing experience! We are seasoned safari goers in other parts of Africa, but this was our first time in the Serengeti and all I can say is … wow!
Our entire booking process was seamless and smooth. Every question answered, every need met. Mwaka put together a beautiful itinerary for us with top notch lodging and experiences.
From the moment we touched town, our driver Kantona and his trainee were there to pick us up. After many flight delays, and many hours of travel, we were exhausted! But, when we met the boys and started our drive to our first accommodation, we connected immediately and it was amazing energy. We spent the hour and a half drive laughing and exchanging stories. It felt like we were seeing old friends again. It was the best welcome we could have asked for.
After arriving in Serengeti, we met our driver John. He stole the show. His experience and skills were unmatched. He was able to spot animals from any distance, and somehow despite the time we would arrive at a sighting, get us into the perfect position for viewing and photography. I truly believe John is the reason we were so fortunate. From a huge pride of 20 lions, to leopards in the trees, to the famous black rhino. We saw it all, thanks to John.
Our accommodations were perfect. Olerai Lodge in Arusha was stunning. Malaika lodge in Serengeti was incredible. Rustic, yet luxurious. The staff there were so welcoming and the food delicious. Then, Serena at Ngorongoro was breathtaking with the views.
We also did a hot air balloon experience which was the icing on the cake. The early morning wake up is worth it for the spectacular views. Our balloon pilot was so fun and we felt super safe. From the air we saw a lion on a buffalo kill, hyenas running through the road, and tons of giraffe and antelope. Once we landed, we popped a bottle of champagne with the pilot and danced in the bush with the crew, followed by a bush breakfast. It was a truly memorable experience.
All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend Gorille Africain Tours. My husband and I travel often, and from experience, I can tell you this company is worth it. Everything was handled professionally and you will always feel welcomed, taken care of, and safe.

Experience in all areas of africa
I was very hesitant in booking a company outside the u.k, but this was unfounded. There local knowledge and recommendations were excellent and would highly recommend them

Rowanda Gorillas
They were absolutely terrific. From the booking to the pickup and drop off. They even helped me with the VISA. I can’t say enough nice things about this group.

Excellent 4 day tour of Rwanda
I recently returned from a fabulous, (too) short trip to Rwanda organized by Gorille Africain Tours. I visited Akagera National Park, Volcanoes National Park for gorilla trekking and golden monkey tour, and spent a day exploring Kigali. Mwaka was very communicative and flexible in tailoring a trip that worked best for me. Peter was a wonderful driver and guide who was very knowledgeable about the parks, animals, plants and culture. I highly recommend them.

5 days visit to Akagera National Park
I had an amazing 4-night stay in Akagera National Park. The tented lodge is new and beautifully designed.
There were not too many visitors, plenty of wildlife, and an incredible level of biodiversity.
Excellent value for money and very well organized.
I had two fantastic guides whom I can highly recommend: Godefroid Nyamurangwa and Andrew Nzeyimana.
Having Emmy Nkusi as a private photographer was also fantastic.
Thanks again for the perfect organization.

Perfection!
My husband and I just returned from our full day of gorilla trekking in Volcano National Park. We decided to take the trek last minute and reached out to a couple of licensed tour operators and we’re so impressed with how quickly Gorille Africain Tours got back to us. From the beginning, the communication was excellent and timely.
We could not have been more impressed with our tour operator Simon, who was already downstairs at our hotel when we came downstairs at 4:15am. He already had a big smile on his face! He was so lovely and kind and was able to navigate the bumpy dirt roads leading to our hiking trail with ease! What a lovely, lovely gentleman.
If you book with them, you won’t have to worry about a thing. They pack your water, gators (the trek is sooo muddy), will stop for coffee on your way to the park from Kigali, and if you have Simon, you will know he is basically the mayor and knows everybody at every stop. (:
Once we arrived at Volcano National Park, he took care of everything and all we had to do was start hiking. I could not recommend this company enough. ❤️

They are excellent at what they do.
Exploring Rwanda’s cultural roots was truly enriching! From the King’s Palace Museum to the Ethnographic Museum, every stop offered powerful insight and learning. I had the pleasure of experiencing it all with 49 students—and as a teacher, I found myself learning just as much. We wrapped up the day with a lovely lunch and great conversations.
Special thanks to Gorille Africain Tours for their smooth coordination—highly recommended for school trips and educational tours!
