Big thank you for arranging this trip for us! We had an amazing experience and saw so many animals including leopard and lions, and Justus was just the best driver and guide ever! He really did everything to make the experience the best for us. He went over and above with his never-ending enthusiasm!

I went on this safari solo and had a great time! My guide Emile was awesome and knew all the best spots to see animals. He was always patient and willing to wait for me to get the best pictures. The pickup in Kigali was on time and by leaving early we were able to beat the traffic and make it to the park by 8am! My guide was patient with explaining everything and truly dedicated to making sure I saw as many animals as possible close-up. Even though the day I went was very hot, we managed to see lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, hippos, giraffes, warthogs, and a large number of zebra, impalas, and waterbuck. Would definitely recommend this experience for anyone interested in exploring all of Akagera!

Simply awesome! The beautiful african animals against the backdrop of the savannah! All exiting soecies so close and in their own habitat! As a bonus, we learnt about the important role the park has in enhancing the life of the animals who live there and in the same time, contribute to the livelyhoods of the communities around the park.
