  We are three friends who did a 5-day trip to Akagera and Volcanoes National Parks, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience from start to finish. All the planning and bookings were perfectly handled by Dorah, our tour consultant. She was very responsive, organized everything smoothly, and made the whole process stress-free, from permits to accommodations. Her communication before and during the trip was excellent. Our guide Germain was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, professional, and very friendly, and he clearly loves what he does. In Akagera National Park, he helped us spot lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, and many other animals, and he shared interesting information throughout the game drives. The boat safari on Lake Ihema was a great highlight. The gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park was truly life-changing. Germain prepared us very well before the trek and supported us the entire time, making sure we felt safe and comfortable. Being so close to mountain gorillas is an experience we will never forget. What made the trip even more special was learning about conservation and local community involvement along the way. Everything was well timed, well organized, and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend both Dorah for trip planning and Germain as a guide to anyone visiting Rwanda. This trip created memories that will stay with us forever. — Trip with friends

  Unforgettable Safari Experience with Shalom Safaris! My experience with Shalom Safaris was absolutely amazing! I had the opportunity to visit Akagera National Park, where I saw incredible wildlife, including lions, zebras, white rhinos, antelopes, deer, and giraffes. Our guide, Anaclet, was extremely knowledgeable and ensured we had the best possible sightings while sharing fascinating insights about the animals and the park. I also explored Nyungwe National Park, which was equally breathtaking. The canopy walk was a thrilling adventure, offering stunning views of the lush forest. I also had the chance to see a beautiful waterfall, playful monkeys, and the rare colobus monkeys. Our guide, Exodus, was fantastic—friendly, professional, and deeply passionate about Rwanda’s natural beauty. From start to finish, Shalom Safaris provided seamless organization, expert guides, and an unforgettable adventure. If you're looking for a reliable tour company in Rwanda, I highly recommend them! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)

  I just had the most amazing experience with Shalom Safari visiting Akagera National Park and Nyungwe National Park! Seriously, they know how to create unforgettable adventures. The scenery in Akagera was stunning, and the wildlife sightings were just incredible. Our tour guide, Annacret, was a true highlight of the trip! He was so professional and really passionate about what he does, which made the whole experience even better. I felt like I was learning from a friend rather than just a guide. If you have a dream of experiencing safari life, especially camping by the waterfalls in Nyungwe National Park, I can't recommend Shalom Safari enough! It was a trip of a lifetime!

  we had an exciting mix of adventure, education, and natural beauty. Highlights include hiking volcanic craters, exploring lava fields, visiting volcanic lakes or hot springs, and learning about geology from expert guides. The landscapes are breathtaking, with diverse ecosystems and surreal features like bubbling lava and ash-covered slopes. While physically demanding and weather-dependent, it offers unforgettable experiences for adventure seekers and nature lovers. High recomendation to Shalom Safaris.

  We had a great time with our guide Jean Petit. He is extremely knowledgeable and well-connected with local providers. Jean Petit truly takes care of everything: he even organized a forgotten toothbrush. 😉 He is a special expert on Akagera National Park and gave us unique encounters with the animals. We were sooo lucky. Always friendly, on time and well-prepared we felt very comfortable and in good hands. Murakoze, Jean Petit!

  I got an excellent insight in the history of Rwanda, esp. the colonial times and the development of the genocide The hotel accomodation was great. I had a very competent guide, Abou, with a high command of the English language, who also was very obliging and helpful in responding to personal interests. I always felt absolutely safe. I can highly recommend this Shalom tour and its guide. Bernard Wichert

  Learning how the Rwandans were able to rise above the tragic genocidal event. You never know how much they went through until you visit Rwanda and learn for yourself the true history and rich culture of the Rwandans. Rwanda has such a beautiful landscape weather you are in the city or at country side, it’s a beautiful country to visit if you are looking to just bask in nature’s wonderful architecture.
