    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.

    Great tour. When people ask me how my vacation was, I tell them we had a great time. Of course, seeing the gorillas and monkeys was great, the landscape was gorgeous, the Genocide Museum was eye-opening, but the best part was the people. We made friends with locals that we continue to keep in touch with. Our guide, Ronald, was awesome. Ronald was accommodating, easy-going and friendly. I would recommend this tour and, even if you don't choose this tour, I would highly recommend visiting Rwanda. It was an unforgettable and powerful experience.

    I really enjoyed my trip and safari in Rwanda and my experience with Devine African Safari: from the office staff to my driver/guide, I always got answers to my questions and solutions to my problems in a smooth way. My driver/guide Boaz was very knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics and helpful in every way. One small suggestion: the trip is organised with 2 nights at the Emerald Kivu (really nice!) and 5 nights at the Garden Place hotel (well located, excellent comfort) which is convenient. However I would suggest more flexibility for meal arrangements: 5 days with all meals in the same hotel is a bit repetitive. I certainly recommend Devine Tour Safari and TourRadar to anyone willing to visit Rwanda!
