Fabulous Chimps and Gorillas tour in Rwanda - beyond our expectations!
Great tour with cultural and wildlife aspects. Our guide Paul Ruganintwari was very helpful and good company. Hotels were excellent, and meals were included, with just alcohol to be paid for. 3-course dinner each evening. Lovely scenery with plenty to look at while Paul drove to the next location.
Really enjoyed the kayaking on Lake Kivu
We were fortunate to see so many chimps ( including a baby ).
Gorilla trek was beyond our expectations and we were very lucky with the weather. We watched a large family group including a silverback, 4 mth old and 1 week old baby.
Take USD for tips, but before the tour we needed Rwandan Francs for Kigali.
I chose to pay for a porter to help me on the slippery bits of path and to support the local community.
We hope to return to Africa soon and I would be very happy to travel with Shadows of Africa again. We were very impressed. Thank you to Karen for all her help with the organisation of the trip and fast communication.

Excellent
The explanation and driving skills of the kind guide were excellent. And especially for finding rare animals such as cheetahs, I was able to see a great safari. I recommend it

Curated Travel with Exceptional Attention to detail
We had an exceptional experience with Go Touch Down Travel & Tours. From the very first interaction to the moment, we returned home, every detail was flawlessly planned and executed. Their team didn’t just book a trip — they curated a seamless, memorable adventure.
They thought of everything: what to wear, what to pack, airport pickups, transfers, and daily logistics — all handled with incredible care and precision. We were especially touched that they remembered our special anniversary and made it feel truly celebrated. Even while we were on tour, they checked in with us to make sure everything was going smoothly — a level of personal attention you rarely see.
If you’re looking for a travel company that combines thoughtful planning with genuine care and professionalism, Go Touch Down delivers beyond expectations. Highly recommend. we thought they were exceptionally priced for the service we received. Now that we know what ot expect; we will tweak our next trip but one thing won't change and that is the company we will trust for our next adventure.

Amazing experience!!!
We did the 3-day Safari, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Mnayara, with flights included. Our driver, Kevin, was fantastic, always careful when driving and very patient. During the Safari we had lunch in the parks we visited as a picnic and the meals were fabulous. We saw many animals and some very close to the car. We would like to thank Davis very much, who from the quote until we left the airport was always tireless and very attentive. It was indeed an unforgettable experience!

Perfect
I was looking for a safari for myself and my daughter and came across Traipsing from first enquiry (and a very speedy response) to finalising the final itinerary was simple and quick.
In the end booked a 5 day / 4 night stay at Tambuti Lodge in Black Rhino Park with transfers from and return to J’burg airport.
Sandra messaged just before we left to ensure a smooth arrival, provided sandwiches and drinks for the car journey on arrival and even arranged a last minute change to our pick up time the night before we left.
Such an easy and smooth process, and absolutely outstanding recommendation and everything ran smoothly. Not only would I recommend Sandra and Traipsing to anyone looking to book a holiday I will also be back when I’m ready to book our next one, 5 star service!

Eric is understanding, helpful and an expert at what he does!
We had an amazing time! We booked a last minute 3 day trip to the Volcanoes National Park. Eric took care of everything even last minute and made sure we got to do everything that we wanted to do. We saw the gorillas and the golden monkeys and he organized all our trips and transport as well as a stop at a few great restaurants and local noteworthy sites. We had a great time with him and he was very informative about the country and cultures. We cannot recommend him enough and would book him again for any other activities we would plan to do in the East African region!

the best that can be trusted
This travel agency is quick and reliable. If you're traveling to Serengeti, you might not know the local situation because most of them consult with them abroad. But it explained everything well and made the choice easy. I'm making good memories at a reasonable price. If I go there again, I want to enjoy it a little longer. Thank you
