We chose Golden Rwanda Safaris to organize our trip to Rwanda, and we could not have made a better choice.
From our very first contact, Frank listened carefully to our requests and created a trip that perfectly matched our needs. He followed our instructions in every detail and personalized the itinerary according to our wishes. The result was an amazing 11-day journey, during which we traveled across Rwanda from Kigali to the northern part of the country and discovered many different aspects of it.
All the accommodations recommended to us were of an excellent standard, and we felt very comfortable in every one of them. The guide chosen by Frank was also exceptional—we were truly lucky. Always available, knowledgeable, kind, and attentive, she made every day even more enjoyable.
The trip was filled with unforgettable experiences. We went on a spectacular safari, during which we were fortunate enough to see many animals and almost all of the Big Five, as well as enjoying a boat excursion on the lake. What we particularly appreciated was that the journey went far beyond the usual tourist experiences. We visited villages, took part in traditional dances, wore traditional clothing, and had the opportunity to learn more about the country’s culture and traditions.
We also learned a great deal about Rwanda’s history, from the monarchy and the darkest periods of its past to the country’s remarkable rebirth. This allowed us to return home with a much deeper understanding of Rwanda than we could have gained from a standard organized tour.
Another aspect we greatly appreciated was the availability and speed with which Frank helped us obtain the permit to visit Five Volcanoes National Park, even though we had made the request at relatively short notice, after already organizing the gorilla trekking experience. During the trek, Frank and his team were also extremely thorough in communicating our preferences and wishes to the trackers and everyone involved, while fully understanding that, since gorillas are wild animals, these requests could not be guaranteed. We appreciated this attention to detail enormously.
Overall, what impressed us most was the care with which every detail was organized and, above all, the genuine ability to listen to the client. Throughout the entire trip, we felt supported, heard, and well looked after, without ever feeling that we were simply following a standard itinerary.
We wholeheartedly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris to anyone wishing to visit Rwanda. It is an extremely professional, knowledgeable, and attentive company, and it played a fundamental role in making our trip an experience we will remember forever.
Heartfelt thanks to Frank, our guide, and the entire team for these unforgettable 11 days in one of the most beautiful countries we have ever visited.

Amazing!!
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Nortaz Tours! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Over the past year, Paul and Sylvia helped us plan our entire trip by email. They responded incredibly quickly, listened to all our wishes and created a completely tailor-made journey for us. Everything was arranged perfectly down to the smallest detail.
A very special thank you to Freddy, our private guide, who was there for us throughout the entire safari. He was friendly, knowledgeable and simply amazing — we could not have wished for a better guide!
Our stay at Dove Camp in the Serengeti was also incredible and made the whole experience even more special.
This trip exceeded all our expectations and gave us memories we will treasure for the rest of our lives. It truly enriched our lives.
A huge thank you to Paul, Sylvia, Freddy and the entire Nortaz Tours team. We would recommend booking with Nortaz Tours to anyone without hesitation. A very well-deserved five stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

They were simply brilliant, I would book again with them.
Had a wonderful experience thanks to Serengeti Smile. Eliad handled my booking brilliantly, guiding me each step of the way. His communication was prompt and very helpful. I had trouble with my Tanzania visa, they were not responding to me with the approval, he even managed to sort that.
Whenever I made payments he ensured I had peace of mind by sending confirmations right away, payments were quick and easy using the Wise App.
My guide was Hussein, he is the reason my experience was brilliant. A good, honest man with so much experience and great driving skills. He ensured i was able to witness all the animals from as close up as possible and even spent from his own pocket to buy snacks and soft drinks for the drive.
All in all a great experience, I will recommend Serengeti Smile to others for sure and definitely recommend you ask for Eliad when booking and Hussein as your guide.

Small but brilliant
We traveled as a family of 4 and can’t praise Sopai Safaris highly enough. Sopai are small enough to make the experience really personal but also really delivered. The quality of the driver is key and we were introduced to Goodluck who was both driver, mechanic, naturalist and dinner host and he was brilliant at all of them. Recommend you ask for him on your safari. They certainly gave us many special memories. You can’t go wrong if you book with these.
good luck for your Safari.

Fantastic Experience with Dicklack
We had the pleasure of doing a week long safari with Dicklack who was the perfect guide for our first time in Tanzania. His knowledge of all the parks was very deep and knew exactly how to spot and track all the animals. His knowledge allowed us to see all of the Big 5 along with the great migration.
I highly recommend following the times he suggests for game drives to increase the chances of seeing all the animals you want. His personality is very friendly and engaging and does an excellent job on answering any questions you have. Overall, this was a 10/10 experience for my family and would highly recommend Dicklack for anyone looking to book with Ozon Light Tours.

Amazing Safari Experience in Tanzania
The highlight is the Serengeti Smile operated a great safari where we got to see an incredible number of animals and had great accommodations.
I will note that most all tour companies are probably similar in that most guides we talked to were friendly, knowledgeable, and good drivers. Our driver, Reginald, was excellent in those ways. In addition, he was also always looking out for others, helping to fix other jeeps. That’s the kind of good karma you should want in a driver! They also are connected to the Serengeti Classic View Camp, which was incredibly hospitable and was so nice in celebrating our honeymoon. I’m sure most tour companies are great, but I can say with certainty that Serengeti Smile is fantastic and is a great choice for a Tanzanian safari!
