Brilliant expérience, but...

4.00We did the tour in the Akagera Park first with our guide Joël. A few days later, we went to the Nyungwe forest with our guide Alyssa. Both our guides were perfect: kind, helpful, very professional. Unfortunately, un like their boss, Émile. We couldn t but notice that once we had paid for the 1st safari, the Akagera one, that he simply ignored our messages asking for information about the organization of the 2nd one, which was not satisfactory. Safaris are an extremely expensive experience, and the least the company can do is answer their customers requests. The highly professional services of both elyssa and Joel indeed added value to our trip, we most sincerely thank them for that.
An unforgettable experience. With so many wow moments

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our experience as a family of four. We had the jeep to ourselves and a friendly experienced driver named Dany. It's a lot of driving to find the animals in their natural habitat so be prepared to be patient. The most memorable experience was an elephant crossing the road right in front of us. But there were lots of wow moments. The night safari was fun but we didn't see many animals, however there was a big storm brewing and it has already started raining so this likely had an impact. During the day we saw, hippos, crocs, white rhino, baboon, giraffes, elephant, lion, warthog, waterback deer, and zebras ( others too) The hippos are plentiful and fun to watch
