Great day trip to Akagera - The trip was amazing. We saw incredible animal and landscape scenes. My guide and driver were great. Desiree, the guide, was a pleasure to talk to about all things Rwanda. The trip is not easy. It’s a long day. But we did see the entire park, driving more than 6 hours south to north. I would definitely recommend it. Only downside is traffic in Kigali on the return is pretty rough. But even then certainly lots to see.

Fantastic Experience - Our company wanted to do a retreat after attending a conference in Kigali. Go Kigali Tours worked with me to create a fantastic experience for our team and within our budget. We had an excellent experience, from the planning stages through to the execution and airport drop-offs. Our guide, Desiree Izere, was informative, attentive, and flexible when we asked to change plans. Our group included world-traveled journalists and Desiree was able to answer questions and give us in-depth information. Our tour highlights were the milk bar during the Kigali City Tour, the gorgeous and serene Ruzizi Tented Lodge, Akagera National Park, and visiting the mountain gorillas. Thank you Go Kigali Tours – highly recommend.

Perfect Safari, Great Staff - I needed to organise a corporate day out with some important clients, and this was the perfect trip. We were extremely well looked after by the Go Kigali team. They took care of everything for us - we did a safari drive and sunset cruise on the lake. All details were cared for, including G&Ts on the sunset cruise! Highly recommend for any future travelers, or a fun professional outing.

Experience of a lifetime! - I had the most incredible time on the day safari tour to Akagera National Park! I saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, impalas, Buffalo, baboons, hippos, and much more! Eric was an excellent guide and knew just were to go in the park to see everything - in particular the elephants! Breakfast and lunch were great and we had a very experienced driver who knew exactly where to go. I went as a solo traveler and ended up with a private tour. It was an experience of a lifetime!

Amazing trip to Rwanda with Go Kigali / Further - We did a city tour with Desiree and the gorilla trek and 2 day Akagera safari with Eric. I cannot praise Go Kigali (Go Further) enough. Such an amazing tour operator with excellent guides. Xavi helped me plan my trip from the very beginning and gave very thoughtful responses to my many questions prior to our departure. Desiree and Eric were incredible, conscientious, thoughtful and fun to be around. They both took such amazing care of us and we knew we were in great hands from start to finish! We spent 3 days with Eric and I cannot recommend him enough and you can’t go wrong booking a trip with Go Kigali/ Further!!! I would not hesitate to contact them again for future trips and for sure would request Eric and Desiree!!! Alex was our driver and he was excellent and very safe. I’m a back seat driver but was very comfortable in Alex’s capable hands.

Go Kigali delivered - This was a 5star experience from the booking all the way through to the trip itself The booking experience at Go Kigali was very professional and seamless & I was very impressed with their follow ups to make sure I had all the facts I needed The vehicle used was very clean and well equipped for the day and Cedric my driver was simply awesome. He was extremely knowledgeable on the parks history and it’s wildlife and elevated the day from simple good to bloody awesome I will be using Go Kigali again as they delivered a superb safari day

Fascinating! - My husband and I came to Rwanda for the first time and of course, Akagera was a must! Our tour was curated by our wonderful guide, Eric and driver, Alex. We were impressed by Eric's care in understanding what our interests were and catering our tour accordingly. We were picked up on time at our Airbnb, provided with packed breakfast, water bottles and, of course, coffee stops along the way and later, lunch at the park. We not only had a spectacular tour of the park, but also, Eric was very open and informative about the communities we passed through, the history of the country and her people. We learned so much and were inspired by what the government of Rwanda is doing to improve the quality of life for all who live there. As Africans, we were proud to experience such a progressive nation and felt that there was much to learn from the Rwandan society as a whole. The park had a beautiful array of landscapes and topographical features and was surely a feast for the eyes. We learned so much about the animals' behaviours and characteristics. Akagera was a fascinating, educative and fun experience! Thank you to Eric and Alex for a memorable time.

Excellent Service - I booked Go Kigali Tours for a solo trip to Akagera National Park and they were excellent. The online booking process was smooth and I received detailed information. Pickup was scheduled for 5am from my hotel and they were on time. Special mention to my tour guide Eric and the driver Alex who were fantastic. They were very knowledgeable, kind and extremely professional. Overall, the trip was value for money and their service and offering were as advertised. I highly recommend this company.

Safari Trip of a Lifetime - Professionalism from start to finish, we were informed and called to confirm pick up the day before. Bosco our Sarfari Guide was very knowledgeable and informed us of all the towns and sights we passed through on our 3 hour journey to the safari park. This trip is a once in a lifetime experience. Bosco was very patient with us and stopped to check if there were any animals hiding. We saw baboons, zebra, giraffe, antelope, hippos and elephant in the distance. As we left at 5am breakfast was provided by Go Kigali - 2 eggs, yoghurt, crossiant, orange, tree tomato and drink. Lunch was provided also chicken club sandwich, crisps, cake, tree tomato and drink, we were never hungry out thirsty. Thank you Bosco and Go Kigali for the best trip ever!!!!
