All was fantastic, untill the smallest details
We have nothing but a fantastic experience with them. All made a dah that we will never forget. With a special shoutout to our guide Sam. He knew everybody and made sure we had the best experience possible. Small detail; we saw the BiG 5 in one day!
Ruben Schaafsma · Brazil
A great experience
Sam and Bora picked us up in our hotel in Kigali. The 2-days trip was fantastic. We saw a lot of animals, the guides knew how to make our trip a great experience. They know a lot about animals and we learned a lot. Sam and Bora are incredibly friendly, professional and attentive at all time and worrying that everything was fine.
Sara · Spain
Excellent Service and great women to meet and be around
The service by far exceeded our expectations. When one member of our group had broken shoes they even would go out of their way in order to find a solution for that problem. We had a great time and enjoyed these young women ' s company.
