A great Discovery of Rwanda thanks to Golden Rwanda Safaris
Our family of 4 just returned from a one-week discovery of Rwanda and its natural parks. We truly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris.
- From the beginning, Frank, the owner, was very fast to answer and always gave us good ideas for our trip. The booking and payment was very easy and safe, which made us confident.
- Our guide, Taoufique, was very friendly and fun, very knowledgeable and always trying to give us the best experience. Thanks to him, we discovered so much about Rwanda.
- Rwanda is an amazing country. We didn’t know a lot before, but we were really touched by the history, the people, and the fact that the country is so safe and clean. Everywhere we stayed, the hotels and lodges were very good, with the best rooms and delicious food.
- Of course, the gorilla trekking was the highlight of the trip (really worth it !) but we also enjoyed many other activities, like walking with rhinos in Akagera and doing the zipline in Nyungwe hills.
We had a wonderful time and we would love to come back to Rwanda again with Golden Rwanda Safaris.

The tour operator was professional, friendly, and very accomodating.
Ngao Africa was the most friendly and efficient travel group I have ever used. They put together a package for us that was comprehensive and provided an unforgettable, once in a lifetime vacation. We stayed at 5 star resorts and lodges. The service was top notch. The guides and drivers were knowledgable and informative. In whole, the entire trip was a bargain and well worth the price. I can strongly recommend Ngao Africa to anyone looking to see the wonders of the Serengity, Zanzibar, and beyond.

Exceptional!
My wife and I (from Northampton Uk) travelled at the end of August 2025, and began planning the trip some months earlier.
All the communications with Explorers Wild Adventures were by WhatsApp and very easy. Johann Mwale answered all our questions and guided us through the process. We chose to upgrade to a Toyota Landcruiser instead of a safari van, and elected to have it to ourselves, (I would have driven anyone else mad what with wanting to stop and watch / photograph all sorts of things...).
We had 6 nights, 7 days at - Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Mara.
We were picked up bang on time at our accommodation in the Karen district of Nairobi on the morning of the start of our safari, and we had first to pop into Nairobi to pay the balance of our safari – we paid this by cash in US dollars having had already paid a deposit by transfer earlier.
Our driver / guide George, was great. As well as spotting wildlife, and getting info from other drivers through the radio, he was also a mad keen football fan which gave my wife and him a lot to talk about when the wildlife spotting was done for the day! Sadly though, he is a Manchester United fan...
We opted to stay in the middle range of properties, the Sentrim lodges. The tents / rooms were great, and there was lots of food at each meal. On occasions when we were travelling between lodges, or just out for the whole day, we had a packed lunch which was more than adequate.
A measure of how well organised Explorers Wild is, was evident when our vehicle hit a nasty pothole on the road to the Mara, and needed some minor repairs. George took very quick and very good action to avoid any further clashes with oncoming traffic. I also bumped my head and needed a little treatment at a little Masai clinic, which was great, and the local folks helped enormously.
Explorers Wild Adventures whirred into action and quickly found another vehicle to take us onwards, and for our next safari, and they also found a great new guide and a driver for the day, whilst George stayed with our vehicle and organised repairs.
A truly impressive response! George was back with us a day later with the newly repaired Landcruiser.
Thanks to Explorers Wild Adventures, and to Johann and George for such a great time, and also for their superb, and speedy action in getting everything back on track when our vehicle was temporarily out of action.

Amazing Trip!
We had an amazing experience! Peter organized everything seamlessly and Chris, our driver and guide, was absolutely fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the game drive really enjoyable. We were lucky to see lots of wildlife up close. He even patiently waited while we bought some snacks before heading out, which was really thoughtful. The whole trip was smooth, well-planned, and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this team for anyone visiting Nairobi National Park and the surrounding attractions!

It was one of the best experiences of my life! 😊
Steven from Fondness helped us a lot with the organization of our safari and always answered our questions quickly. We received a very warm welcome in Arusha. Our guide Haji spoke excellent german, which was very helpful on the safaris. He was able to tell us a lot about the animals, the parks and Tanzania. Our driver Steven was fantastic and he has a lot of experience. A fantastic team! We saw many animals and even the Big Five. Highly recommended! If we come back, we‘d definitly love to go with Haji and Steven! We had a great and funny time!

An Unforgettable Adventure
After extensive research on the various operators conducting safaris, we decided to embark on our safari with Zara Tours. We had Joseph as our guide, and he stood out with his enthusiasm for wildlife, his keen ability to spot animals from afar, and his exceptional talent for predicting their behavior. His patience, respect, and constant care made us feel safe and fully engaged in the experience. Joseph transformed our safari into an unforgettable adventure.

Brilliant Masai Mara safari with Peter
From start to finish, we had a wonderful experience with Live in Love. Communication and support was excellent beforehand, and everything about the safari was fantastic.
Accommodation, food, the safari itself, cultural experiences… all brilliant.
Peter took great care in making sure we were having a good time, and we really enjoyed our time with him. I’d definitely recommend 👌

Excellent trip!
Everything went down perfectly, from communication to trip. The tent was simple but had everything we needed, hot water, and amazing hosts. Jonny Jackson was our guide, and if you can, ask for him. Fun and young guide, we had a lot of fun, saw the big five quickly. He had a lot of knowledge of the animals and their territories!
