Best trip and tour experience ever!
This was the best 2 week trip ever! We travel extensively and we were amazed by this tour company. The owner Frank did a super job customizing our 2 week trip to fit in the Chimpanzee, Colobus, Gorilla, and Golden Monkey Treks, 4 nights in Akagera, and so much more. Our driver guide, Sufiane, was amazing. They worked together to make changes as needed based on our needs. He made sure we could get awesome photos and had a great time. We had fantastic and comfortable accommodations, incredible food, and felt very safe. Using them was the best decision ever. We can't wait to go back!

Thoughtful, service minded and a good organiser
The 6-day trip organised by Golden Rwanda Safaris for me and my father was a great experience to a beautiful country. The schedule, which was "tailor made" to our demands, was well planned for us to experience all the facets of the country, while at the same time allowing for time to fully embrace each different place along the way. In terms of service and hospitality, the offering was sublime, and thanks to our with guide's flexibility and consideration, we were able to visit nice spots for lunch/coffee-breaks/etc. in between the planned activities as well. Finally, our guide was great company, sharing facts and telling stories about the different visits along the way.

Best Rwanda Tour Guide
I highly recomment Golden Rwanda Safaris for your visit to Rwanda! From my booking request, they provided fast responses, helped with any questions, and customized my tour as requested. There was clear communication the whole process and no problems.
My tour guide, Taufique, was passionate, knowledgable, and friendly my entire visit. He really strived to make my visit in Rwanda the best possible! He is one of the best tour guides I have had!

An awe-inspiring experience!
Truly a once in a lifetime experience and the team exceeded my expectations. They were very responsive to my WhatsApp messages ensuring that all of the details were taken care of. We requested to make a change to our itinerary while on the ground and the team worked hard to accommodate us. It was much appreciated! Our guide Mico was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He made sure that everything went smoothly and all we had to do was relax and take in the incredible experience. Thank you for enabling us to create such amazing memories! We would recommend your services to anyone traveling to Rwanda!

Very efficient!
We took Golden Rwanda Safaris to visit the Akagera National Park, the King's Palace in Nyanza, Nyungwe National Park, and Lake Kivu. In the beginning, we were skeptical about the fees to pay. However, during the entire visit, we had an enjoyable experience. The service was excellent, the communication was clear, and the guide was kind and did his job well. We could learn many things about Rwanda thanks to the Golden Rwanda Safaris.

Amazing Akagera Experience
Golden Rwanda Safaris and our guide, Abouba, made sure we had an amazing Akagera experience. We camped 2 nights in the park, they planned everything, helped us rent sleeping bags, provided drinking water and even helped us start a fire each night. Abou was a very knowledgeable guide who made our safari unforgettable and I would highly recommend him.

Life changing experience
Gorilla trekking has been at the top of our bucket list for some time and Golden Rwanda Safaris made the experience even better than we could’ve imagined. Everything from booking to drop off at the airport at the end of the trip was seamless. Communication was consistent and easy. Payment was smooth. The hotels were stunning.
Our tour guide, Taufique, was absolutely wonderful. He brought us around Kigali, showing us the highlights of the city and choosing an incredible restaurant for lunch that we never would’ve found on our own and gave us a true taste of what locals eat (delicious!). He was always punctual, kind, and informative. It can be intimidating traveling to a new country for the first time, let alone a new continent, but we felt completely taken care of with Taufique.
The tour itself was a dream. We loved Kigali and hope to go back to see more of it one day. Taufique brought us to Volcanoes National Park where park guides then took over to lead our trek. We ended up on the most difficult route (hiking almost 4 hours uphill in some rain and through thick brush) but it was beyond worth it. They choose routes based on physical fitness so many groups had hikes under an hour in much easier conditions. Our hike brought us to a family of over 20 gorillas where we saw multiple silverbacks, mamas, juveniles, and babies. I never imagined we would be so close to these incredible creatures but the hour we spent mere feet from them will forever be one of the best of my life.
The golden monkey trek was a wonderful bonus. That hike was super short and easy and the monkeys were beautiful and interesting. We were afraid after the exhaustion of the day before it would be too had to do another trek but this one was easy and well worth it.
I cannot recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris for a Gorilla Trek enough! We will definitely be back one day and hope to use them again.

The Experience of a Lifetime
The high ratings for Golden Rwanda Safaris is completely justified! The email communications in the beginning were quick, and precise, as well as accommodating for a change of plans due to world events. They provided everything I required from pick up to drop off at the airport and everything in between including hotel accommodations before my departing evening flight. The accommodations were clean, quiet, and very lovely, and the food was delicious. I really appreciated the attention to detail, such as water bottles and snacks. I definitely recommend visiting the Genocide Memorial, it was a very powerful experience and made me appreciate how far the country has come in their process of truth and reconciliation. And of course, the gorillas are amazing. You get way closer than I could have imagined, but the Park Rangers make sure the animals are treated respectfully. One of the reasons I chose Rwanda for my visit to the gorillas. I looked at a range of safari prices, there are cheaper than Golden Rwanda, but the quality of the driver, vehicle, accommodations and food was worth the slightly higher price point. You will certainly get your money’s worth. I was traveling solo, and was well treated at all the locations, which is not always the case. I have been to Africa several times, but this was my first time to Rwanda, Golden Rwanda Safaris provides a superior safari experience and I highly reommend them!
