I had a wonderful time. Safari tour guide and driver did a great job showing us the various animals and birds. I think we saw just about every animal there was to see. Lunch stop was wonderful. Good food at a good price.

We had a wonderful safari day with Mariam as our driver and guide. She spotted a Ross' Turaco as soon as we left the game lodge! She was a skilled driver for the all day safari and also on the busy Kigali streets when we returned. Her English was excellent and we enjoyed our time seeing plenty of giraffes, zebras, rhinos, antelope, birds, cape buffalo and even 3 sleepy lions. I highly recommend her and her company.
