I took a food and overnight tour to Akagera National Park with AfriSafaris. The experience was superb. We managed to see four of the Big Five. The accommodations and food were excellent. I went alone and always felt safe. It was a great experience, I highly recommend the tour. Ben Alfa also helped me with the paperwork before the tour to pay for the tour and everything was friendly and reliable.
