    Amazing experience between Akagera and Nyungwe National Park. My guide Harnich was amazing, friendly, safe driving and available for everything. The staff of Afri Safaris was very helpful in preparation for the itinerary with a lot of flexibility and availability for any doubt or question. I really recommend this operator Five Stars
