Amazing safari and great experience! - I had a wonderful day driving to Akagera National Park and saw so many animals and pretty views! Nzirorera from Universal Ventures was great company and taught me so much about the park, the animals, and Rwanda throughout our day together! I was a bit nervous about taking a solo trip, but couldn’t be happier that I did it! I 100% recommend this to anyone with a free day!

100% Good company. - Both universal manger and our guide john were good guys, they helped as to reach and make in action our safari, we left Kigali early morning i think was 5:35am to the park but we had a middle way stop over for leg stretching and for coffee test, the game driver it' self was lovely, animals are funded not far from us, even hypos and crocodile were out side the lake .
It was a lucky day for us, all big5 have been spotted within 3 hours of our game drive, john is a great guide, he did the best to maximize our needs and he was special to find out animals before us where they were hidden, it was a good day. Thank you, we will recommend this safari to our colleagues and families.

Cool safari tour. - The safari tour was amazing, we were a family form south Africa, it' a natural park with incredible flora and fauna, we did similar experience in our home country and Zimbabwe but we liked this one better, the park does n't have a lot different animals but quite bigger which is the basic need to have a lot of different animals in future.
Also the park reception provided us the basic information before we start the safari, it was well organized from Kigali to the park. guide was professional and skilled for animals behaviors. thank you team universal for a good job you did. Highly recommend this safari.
