Whoever plan to explore Rwanda i definetely recommend the Akagera and Nyungwe if you budget is not too big to trek for gorillas. We did with Home Rwanda Safaris, starting from Kigali to Akagera then Akagera to Nyungwe and back. What a beautiful trip!! The game drive of Akagera took us in a real wildthought i mean, seeing the Elephant right at the park gate then few meters ahead getting stuck in a middle of buffalos was the welcoming message from the big five. We've seen a lot of animals and the driver was a good one at spotting them far in the bushes. Our night was at Game lodge which is super classic, the food and service we appreciated. Later we went to Nyungwe and pass on the canopy bridge one of my favorite experience the next day we tracked the chimpanzees at Rusizi side of Nyungwe. I recommend Home Rwanda Safaris because they had our word since day 1 to the end of the trip and exceptionally they brought me 2 bags of maraba coffee and i was like wow this guys are super super kind and professional. Reserve your trip with them

My partner and I decided to take the tour on our last day in Rwanda. We've been living in Rwanda for 3 weeks already but we never had to opportunity to explore. My partner and i were picked up at our apartment which was a plus! ( a little late but they manage to call to inform us that they were on their way).It was only me and my partner on the tour and must i say, it was lovely. We did inform that we had to be back to our apartment at 5pm and they noted that very well. Our tour was custom to our preference which was a plus. (Keep in mind, that Kigali has a curfew.) Patrick was very well educated on the history of Rwanda! We had a delicious lunch and had a great conversation with Patrick during our lunch which was great! It was not an awkward lunch. It is a very lovely tour. I recommend if want to see the major "must see" of Kigali. It was very lovely to have Patrick around as our tour guide. Patrick spoke very good english and ensure we had a great experience to take back home.

A group of friends and I visit an African country each year. Kigali was our pit stop for October 2019 and we needed a tour company to provide us with a tailored package that included navigating the popular tourist sites and getting to see the real Kigali! Liz and her business partner Claudine did not disappoint; their professional approach was second to none and we received great recommendations re tourist sites to visit, restaurants to eat and coffee shops/ bars to chill. Our own dedicated tour guides and coach service made getting around easy. Our first stop was the Akagera National Park followed by visits to the Genocide Memorial and Parliament Museums. A sumptuous lunch at the Hotel des Mille Collines aka "Hotel Rwanda" followed by individual visits to local markets and galleries followed. Our evening ended with a Kigali bar-crawl! An amazing road trip at the crack of dawn to Rwesero to enjoy the lake Muhazi and King Fish Beach Resort kicked off our 2nd day! The scenery was as good as the food! To top it off a bonfire was organised where we chilled appreciated the nature! The night ended with an amazing rooftop reception in Kigali while we rounded up our city tour on the last day and spent the final evening at the renown Piri-Piri spot. I would highly recommend Phonenix Travel & Tours as they showed a deep knowledge of the entire landscape and definitely provided a rounded experience for us. One thing the group unanimously agreed on was that a second visit was necessary!

It lacks of tourist hordes sets it apart from other destinations in East Africa and the fact that you can enjoy an optional boat Safari at lake Ihema makes it a unique experience.

Leave Kigali as early as 05h30 and drive for an estimated 3 hours to reach Akagera National Park by 08h30. Spend the entire day through the park to depart to Kigali late afternoon or in the evening. Akagera National Park has a diversity of wildlife including buffaloes, elephants, giraffes, zebras, impalas and many others. After a long time being extinct in Akagera National Park, the black rhinos and lions have recently been restocked. Their sighting is always not guaranteed due to their small number and the hiding character of the black rhino. Enjoy the game drive viewing the natural habitat of different animals, birds and enjoying the view of different lakes and landscape.

I took this tour as I just moved to Kigali and wanted to get an overview of the town and various neighborhoods. This tour provided just this. My guide Emmanuel was extremely helpful and patient with my endless questions about Kigali and Rwanda. He provided great information on the history of the country and city, but also was very helpful in showing me how things 'work' in Kigali - eg how to use mobile money, book a taxi, what various neighborhoods were like, etc. - eg requests beyond what the tour required. However, if you are just here as a tourist and are familiar with other African countries, you might not need a full day tour. You might do the 1/2 day instead. The restaurant we went to for lunch was fine, but a bit random...There must be places for lunch with a nice view, or something a bit more interesting...

I had a wonderful experience with Judith Safaris and my day trip to Sorwathe Tea Factory outside of Kigali. I emailed Judith a few days prior to my trip with a loose idea of what I wanted to do- basically "would it be possible to visit a tea farm & factory?". Judith provided an affordable itinerary very quickly. Celine was my tour guide and she was great- very friendly (like pretty much everyone I encountered in beautiful Rwanda), thoughtful and knowledgeable. The tea tour itself was great and it was really thorough. I learned about the process from picking the leaves all the way to the packaging and everything in between. I have taken similar tours in Sri Lanka and they were very enjoyable also but the tour with Celine and the folks at Sorwathe were especially detailed- which I appreciated very much. We also had a great lunch (with lovely tea) at Sorwathe with an incredible view of the spectacular landscape. If I were to do this trip on my own, it would have taken a bunch of phone calls to find a place to tour, arranging transport, and trying to piece it together. Working with Judith was so much easier. The customer service was excellent- both she and Celine really were interested in me having an enjoyable experience. I really enjoyed my conversation with both. Judith has a very inspirational story and I believe is one of the first woman-led owners of a safari company. Celine was as friendly as could be and she has such positive energy. She was the perfect guide. I really loved my trip to Rwanda and the day trip to Sorwathe with Celine and Judith Safaris was certainly one of the highlights. I highly recommend Judith Safaris and Celine as a guide. It's a locally owned company and was more than happy to support them. I look forward to visiting again one day and trying out some of their other tours.

The park is home to some of the country’s most stunning wildlife and serves as the premier destination for those looking to enjoy a Rwandan safari. Lions, rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, leopards, baboons, zebras, crocodiles and a variety of antelopes are just some of the creatures you may see on a safari through Akagera.

Birdwatchers too will be thrilled with the over 500 documented species of birds found throughout the park, including one of the continent’s largest concentrations of big water birds. This tour offers you 2 days Safari driving to the northern and southern parts of the park and accommodation at the Akagera Game Lodge. An optional sunset boat ride or evening game drive can be organized for $40. This package is currently the most affordable 2-day tour to Akagera National Park for one person or group.

The driver and the Guide picked me up on time and they were super friendly. I had prepared myself for a full day of Kigali (history and life). The first stop was the Memorial, the second the Kant House, and then to the Kamp Memorial Museum. After that, we had a lunch break. And that was it. After that, we drove around the town for about 1 hour. Kigali is a nice city, but there is not too much to see. Sometime around 2 pm, I asked if we had another stop, they answered 'no' and said the tour was over. I had a faint memory that there was more on the list, but I couldn't check. Why we didn't go to the market, I don't know (especially since I had said several times that I would like to experience the life of the people in the city!!). Also on the list is Caplaki Craft Village: it must be said about this, the Guide had asked me if I liked art. My answer was, 'it depends, I don't like museums that much'. Maybe that's why it was removed from the program. But even if this had been the case, why wasn't I offered an alternative? In conclusion, I must say that I could have easily visited the three places I mentioned in advance by motorbike taxi and saved a lot of money. Conclusion: for me, not good value for money.
10. Akagera National Park Day Trip
For a short visit traveler to Kigali, this makes a perfect escape out of the city for just a day especially for conference and seminar guest having a limited time in the country. This tours allows you to explore the big five (Lions, Buffallos, Elephants, Rhinos and Leopards) in one of Rwanda's oldest park just hours out of Kigali. Apart from the short drive you also get to enjoy the landscape and different cultures of Rwanda found along the way. So if you are limited on your travel time,this is the best trip for you.

We had an absolutely amazing time on our two-day tour with Kawira! Iddy was a fantastic guide, extremely friendly and knowledgeable and lots of good conversation along the way. Ian went above and beyond to organize our tour as well as help us organize other parts of our vacation. Nyungwe Forest is just stunningly beautiful and is a must-visit for a trip to Rwanda. I can't recommend Kawira enough - great tour and lovely people!
