Awesome first safari experience
We did our safari in March 2023 with Godfrey and Francis in the Ruaha NP. Although it was rain season, we saw a bunch of animals - especially due to the good eye of our guides. Gody&Francis spotted animals we would‘ve passed by without recognising them.
But we want to give a review about more than the game drive itself. It was our first safari and we were curious what we can expect. In the booking process we were already amazed how fast and good answers we were getting by the company. The pdf-tour quote was really helpful and outstanding in comparison to other companys.
When we started our trip all the last uncertainties were blown away. Both of them were doing the „last detail“ you were not even expecting of them. It was just such a pleasant and comfortable trip. The atmosphere and companionship althrough the trip was just super easy.
So we just had a great time.
And can highly recommend Kihindo Tours and Safari.
Thank you very much.
See you again!

Excellent experience
Jean picked me up at 5am in the hotel. We had a smooth drive to the Akagera NP for a game drive. We stopped for coffee and a nice breakfast buffet, and then the game drive. We saw many animals. Jean was a great driver and also great at spotting animals. We had great conversation in the car too. Highly recommend.

Unforgettable Chimpanzee, Gorilla and Golden Monkey trekking
From the first contact inquiring about the trip to when we were dropped off at the airport, Golden Rwanda Safaris and our guide (Jean) did a perfect job of planning and executing everything in the trip with highest standard and enough flexibility to adjust the details based on our requests. Well done! I couldn't have asked for anything better than that!

Fantastic service provided, with an excellent guide at a very good rate
This was an unbelievable experience and one we won’t ever forget. Comparatively, the price was very reasonable for a one day tour, with a pick up, drop off, breakfast and lunch. The booking experience was straight forward, and all of our questions were answered quickly and with great detail.
Our guide Bosco was incredibly knowledgable, and clearly loved his job. He had perfect timekeeping from beginning to end and communicated with us as soon as he received my number. Bosco kept us all happy, entertained and taught us all so much. He had an answer for every ridiculous question we posed, and got us into the park and back home safely. Bosco was a pleasure to be around, and was considerate of all of our needs and ensured we all took a great memory home. Even though we were entering the dry season, we were able to see so much due to his keen eye. I could list all of the animals, but I don’t think I have enough space!
I’ll just say that booking with this company, and driving with Bosco was the best way to do it, and if I ever choose to go back, I’ll be using this company and requesting Bosco!

Thanks so much for the services, it was beautiful, all the members of our group was enjoyed about the landscape, the animals and the lodge.
Thanks also that you came back to us about the meals and the regulations for the absent person.
This is service orientation!
Thanks also to Claude our driver/guide he spoks in french and english to our "multilanguage" group and it was perfect.
The accommodation at Akagera Lodge and the food there was the best I have seen so far in an African lodge.
Simply great!

Unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience with the most trustworthy, kind, creative company!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frank at Golden Rwanda is an incredible person to work with - everything from planning, communicating, service, and ESPECIALLY reliability/trustworthiness is notch, FIVE STAR quality. He provided guidance when needed and knew anything and everything about all the fun and experiences to have in Rwanda, but also attended to every single thing and idea we wanted as well. He realllllllly worked with us and we were fairly specific with all of the things we wanted to - he handled everything with ease and made everything possible. Jean Claude was our guide and he was PERFECT!!!! Great knowledge, soooo well spoken, and extremely creative and attentive. If we wanted to change the schedule, he gladly did and accommodated any new on-the-whim ideas we had. Frank truly went above and beyond for our family and you can tell when someone is a good person - and Frank is a truly soul-to-Earth good human - he did a lot more for our family than this review will give us space to write. He knew how much we dreamed of seeing the gorrillas and did far more than anyone else ever would to help us on our journey. We consider Jean Claude and Frank family and plan to be back for a Round 2 of Rwanda as soon as we can.

We had an excellent experience visiting Akagera National Park with Golden Safaris Rwanda.
We had a great experience exploring Akagera National Park!
Our driver Vincent was punctual, helpful, kind and warm with us. He gave details of each of the species we saw, and shared with us details about Rwandan culture.
We loved every minute of it and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Rwanda!

Botswana was beautiful, wild, warm and true
Camping our way through several Botswanan and Zimbabwean parks was one of the most transformative journeys I have ever made. (And I have traveled). The land has a sense of immensity that is humbling and awe-inspiring. The camping was very basic, with no modern amenities or fences, so the feeling of being in the wild, versus watching a performance of the wild, was complete. The guide was truly learned and local: A dedicated naturalist not a tour guide. And the camp hands were amazing. Warm, knowledgeable, friendly, and excellent cooks given one pot and a fire. The wildlife. What can you say? I was perpetually transfixed, even when rooted to the spot with terror (a face-off with a Bull elephant and hyenas raiding the cool box in our truck come to mind). The cats (the big drawcard for me) were astounding. Many lions, a close-up with a leopard in a tree above us, and a dusk sighting of two cooperating cheetahs hunting. At night we saw a serval, so incredibly hard to spot and very high on my list. Crossing into Victoria Falls was wonderful: despite the woes of its country, a town and a people so warm, funny, smart and welcoming. And I was surprised by the quality of the wildlife there, too (as well as the white water rafting and nightlife). Botswana and Zimbabwe are countries that will sear images onto your retina and memories into your mind, and and these things conspire over the years to produce a kind of soul-magic not easily found in other places. They call you back to Africa.
