A DREAM COME TRUE EXPERIENCE!
The owner of Golden Rwanda Safaris, Frank, exceeded our expectations. He gave us a superb itinerary which included Nyungwe Chimpanzee Trekking, Volcano National park, Gorilla, Monkeys & Akagera National park. Besides the breathtaking adventure of the chimpanzees, gorillas, and golden monkeys, we saw retriever monkeys. We were privileged and ecstatic to see elephants, giraffes, hippos, Zebras, waterbucks, pumbas, Nile crocodiles, an owl, and more. We experienced jungle, woodlands, swamps, lakes, and the Savannah.
Our guide and driver, Anaclet, was a wealth of knowledge and professionalism. There was a good mix of cultural activities including the King’s Palace, Inema Arts Center, and the Genocide Memorial in Kigali. We also went to Mount Kigali and did zip lining.
We highly recommend this established, locally-owned company. Golden Rwanda Safaris was always quick and conscientious to respond to inquiries and we would use them again. They worked within our budget and all accommodations were welcoming, spacious, spotless, and the service and food everywhere was excellent. The vehicles were cleaned everyday and they were comfortable and modern. We felt very safe during the COVID pandemic too.
We made the most wonderful memories in our hearts and on our cameras. A true trip of a lifetime.

Delightful
I was fortunate to chance upon Golden Rwanda Safaris and book my trip to the Virunga National park through them. I had opted for the Virunga Classic tour and Frank was in constant touch with me ensuring that all the papers were in order.
Liza who accompanied me from Kigali made sure of my transfer to park authorities on the DRC side after which the whole tour was nothing short of an adventure. I was picked up once the tour was complete and Liza managed to help me pick some souvenirs at a discount on my way back for which I will be ever grateful.
I would highly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris to anyone looking to travel to the Virunga.

Amazing in every way!
From the very first contact with Frank and Golden Rwanda Safaris we have been treated with excellent professionalism, service and great hospitality. Our whole experience in Rwanda from Kigali, to Nyungwe national park trekking with Chimpanzees, to our relaxing stop at the beautiful Lake Kivu and final stop at the Volcanoes national park has been just fantastic. Above all expectations. Not only is Rwanda and its nature and wildlife one of the most exciting we have ever come across, but the people we’ve met along the way have been so friendly.
It was a blast to hang out with Frank on this journey! You can easily see his huge commitment to make your experience the absolut best, and the passion he puts into every detail. Noting is too complicated. And its all about the teamwork. It’s not difficult to understand why everyone along the way knows him and welcomes you with big smile. We had so much fun and we will never forget our interesting conversations, laughs and all the magical endangered animals we had the chance to meet during our trip. Thank you, it was a dream come true! We look forward coming back.
When you visit Rwanda we highly recommend you to book your tours through Rwanda Golden Safaris!

Superb service and impressive resourcefulness
Frank was immensely helpful and reliable in facilitating our trip to Akagera National Park from Kigali. He was able to create a package that catered to our specific needs. Never having been in Rwanda before, he took all headaches of organising and planning into his hands even when he didn't need to. He ensured he personally conveyed us to our destination and back, making sure we were catered to along the way i.e. asking if we want to stop for coffee, rest breaks, offering interesting stories about Rwanda and its parks. The drive was an experience in of itself thanks to Frank. I would highly recommend everyone use Golden Rwanda Safaris for all tourist activities in Rwanda.

Frank will take care of you.
From communication to the actual game drive in Akagera Park, Frank was very helpful. The tour itself was fantastic. We had a guide with us who was very familiar with the local wildlife and could answer any questions we had. Frank took his time on the drive, even doubling back for missed picture opportunities! He made the tour as memorable for us as he could. There was never a "drive them around and get done" attitude.
If you are planning a trip to any of the countries Frank conducts business in I highly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris. He made our trip a most memorable one for my daughter and I.
Thanks Frank!

Fantastic team, great safari trucks, and tailor-made tours
The owner, Frank, is very responsive and will make sure you have an amazing holiday in Rwanda.
His team is world-class and super family-friendly. We had a lot of kids in our group and they all loved Frank's tour guides, especially Iddy, Jean Paul, and Jean Marie. But honestly all of them are very kind, very very helpful and a joy to be with.
We did a vetting involving the top 5 rates tour agencies in Rwanda. Based on our pre-trip screening, Golden Rwanda, came out ranked no. 1. This was based on responsiveness, price competitiveness, and overall product appeal.
Having just returned for an 8-day trip with Golden Rwanda, I can say that Frank and his team are fully deserving of their no. 1 ranking.

What a great trip to Rwanda
Golden Rwanda was awesome. The operator, Frank, set up the whole 12 day trip and accommodations with only 2 days of notice. There’s no way I could have done all this on my own. The guide they provided, Liza Fabrice, could not have been better. Liza is so friendly and knowledgeable; we had great conversations every day and he was able to translate with ease between Kinyarwandan & English & French flawlessly. Everywhere we went people knew him and his friendships became mine. He was able to explain the ins and outs of Rwanda’s culture and history and present, to name the animals we would see, to explain and give context to what we came across , to give good advice on everything from food safety to shopping to etiquette. He’s also a great driver. And a great guy. He even lent me books on topics we talked about. I mean come on! So awesome.
Another special example, I am a musician and so he was able to connect me with musicians and take me to shows I’d never have found. When I found a famous Congolese musician I wanted lessons with he was able to call them , communicate in French and arrange a meeting. Amazing.
Best of all, when something went wrong, Liza was able to step up and handle the situation immediately, keeping any potential stress off of me, and then Frank & Golden Rwanda went the extra mile to make things even better than they would have been otherwise so that nothing was ever disrupted. That’s the sign of a true professional and a great company.
I’d like to personally thank Frank & Liza Fabrice both and I encourage anyone thinking about travelling to the continent to visit Rwanda & check out Golden Rwanda
