Our guide took excellent care of us and ensured we had a wonderful experience.
All aspects of our Rwanda visit were top notch. We had all the information we needed before the trip, and communication continued to be excellent on the ground. From first pickup at the airport to final drop off, things went smoothly! We packed lots into a short visit and had a great experience.

They have THE SHARPEST EYES on Earth
I absolutely loved my experience with Ayub! We went to Murchison, and it was an unforgettable trip. The service was exceptional from start to finish.
One thing that really stood out was Ayub's incredible eyesight. He spotted a leopard up in a tree eating from what felt like miles away! That was the moment I realized we had one of the best tour guides possible.
Everything about the trip was amazing. Since we were all quite young, our parents were naturally worried about our safety. Ayub made them feel completely at ease by keeping them updated whenever he had internet access, letting them know where we were and what we were doing. That extra level of care meant a lot.
Overall, I had the best experience. I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to see any lions, but that didn't take away from what was an incredible adventure. I had an absolute blast and would highly recommend Ayub to anyone planning a safari!

Flying Leopard
Beautiful safari in Lake Mburo and Queen Elizabeth National Park. The guide knew the right places to spot animals and took his time. The journey from Entebbe to the parks was long.
What could be improved. Daily explanation of the day’s program. Where can the client still influence it. Providing tips to make the trip and safari better. During the journey, tailor to the client’s wishes.
