Rwanda Tour Companies

I loved both Rwanda and New Horizons. I didn't realize that, for this price, I would get such a personalized tour. New Horizons does not pack you together with a lot of people but provides a personalized travel experience. From the pick up in Kigali, to the selection of activities, everything was top notch. Of course I loved the Silverback Gorillas and Golden Monkeys, but the people and the beauty of Rwanda are worth experiencing alone. If there is something you particularly want to see or if you have specific date restrictions, just start emailing with Emmanuel or his co-founder, and I'm sure they will put something together that you will love.

Emanuel is a great tour guide. He takes great care of the guests. He has an incredible amount of knowledge about his country. This tour shows the development of Rwanda and how the genocide was dealt with. He also pays attention to the flora and fauna. It allows you to fulfill your wishes. I can only recommend this tour if you really want to learn about the country and the people of Rwanda.

The tour was great. The itinerary was well thought out and reasonably paced.The guide, Lucky, was a little inexperienced but was very efficient and kind. He dealt with every aspect of the tour quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend him. Touring Rwanda was one of the best experiences we had during our many years of travelling. I would highly recommend this tour.

I can't believe how much we managed to pack into 8 days , and they went by so quickly! I couldn't have asked for more, it was a dream come true . I picked this your company because I had researched and found that they give lots back to the community in the sense that as many employees as well as arrangements ( eateries, accomodation) as possible were local businesses run by locals.

I went on a G Adventures trip to Africa this past December. No complaints regarding the trip. I found out, however, that the company charged me 25% more than other passengers -- if you go on a trip and are American, DO NOT book through the US web site. They charge different pricing for people from other countries. People from the US are asked to pay about 25% more than Canadians or Europeans. Disappointing and unethical, discriminatory practice to say the least.

I looked at the trip notes and read that you have to have a high level of fitness and be fit enough to trek for up to 9 hours in humid rainforests to track chimps and gorillas. As I enjoy trekking to look for wildlife this sounded perfect for me, I was very misled. We first went to look at golden monkeys and it became clear that 4 of the people in our group were the exact opposite of the fitness level expected. I told the guide that I paid a lot of money to do some proper trekking and said I can't go with these people as did 1 other person in our group. We were charged $50 US each to join another group. I am disgusted at being charged extra as we had done exactly what was asked of us and were fit, if anyone should have been charged it should have been the others. It got worse with the chimp tracking as again they couldn't do it so we were unable to track chimps and just had a little walk around the forest. Our guide was very good though and really helpful so I put no blame on him but G adventures are advertising very badly and I would not consider using them again. This is the first time I've ever sent a complaint about something like this as I usually just let it go but this has really riled me

This was a very wonderful hike in Bisoke and Twin lake experience of Burera and Ruhondo !! I can't wait to go back on my next vacation.

Amazing experience and super organized tour !!! I booked a 9 days tour with African Travellers ltd and it was amazing. I cam with my family friend and We visited different attractions in Rwanda. JeanPaul the manager of the agency came to pick us with the driver and our guides and they were really friendly and hands on.Especially the way they show you places and they story behind every attraction I would definitely book them on my next tour.

The itinerary was not followed by the tour company. The afternoon activity on the second day was omitted. Also, I requested for easy gorilla tracking, we did not get one. My wife and I quit the tracking after 3 hours when the gorilla we were tracking went down the crater. It was 12 noon. The ranger said, if we have another day in Rwanda, he will get us an easy gorilla tracking, which means we are not on an easy gorilla tracking. We were the last group to go up the mountain. We were an hour late. I’m 78 years old and my wife is 74.

We wanted a custom tour and GoExplore (Brian) delivered. From the hotels, flights, and day tours it was wonderful. The Gorilla Trek was outstanding and more remarkable than I anticipated. We had 3 guides, each in different locations. They were so very personable and knowledgeable. It proved to be a great experience working with GoExplore and we would recommend them highly.

We went on a 10 day Safari around Kenya, starting at Lake Nakuru after that 3 days in Masai Mara which was amazing we could appreciate the incredible wild life and Masai costumes , then 3 days in Amboseli with the magnificent view of the Kilimanjaro accompanied by a sea of beautiful elephants, ending our trip in Tsavo the wildest place on earth. We are very happy with the service of GoExplore they were always aware of us and all took care of all the details, our guide Charles was a great driver and a wonderful companion. It was an unforgettable experience we are looking forward to book another Safari soon. Thanks for everything GoExplore Safaris! We definitely recommend to book your Safari with them. GREAT EXPERIENCE!

A fantastic itinerary spoiled by a very inexperienced guide and the last night of accommodation was in a local inn where I felt very unsafe and was of poor quality.
