5.0/5Joel was awesome
We went to akagera park with lion safari and it was so great and a lot of fun. Joel, our tour guide knew all the good spot and a lot of facts about the animal. We saw over 40 elephant!! Emile, the owner, made sure we had a good time. I recommand to book the safari with lion safaris for a great experience.

Knowledgeable and helpful
Great communication. Great Service. Reliable and as advertised. Did a 3 day Gorilla trekking and Golden monkey hike. Gorillas were the star of this trip and Lion Safaris was great at planning it. Emile is a local Rwandan and his knowledge about his country, the history, and about the subjects on the tour (i.e. about the gorillas) was amazing. Would recommend and would do it again with Lion Safaris

FIVE STAR - THE BEST GUIDE IN RWANDA!
I can’t recommend Emile highly enough. He truly went the extra mile and made my journey through Rwanda unforgettable. From the awe-inspiring mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park to chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe and the breathtaking wildlife of Akagera National Park, he planned and guided every step with care and expertise. A former guide with six years of experience in Akagera, he answered every question I had with insight and deep knowledge of Rwanda’s wildlife and culture. He was always on time, efficient, conscientious, and professional—yet also warm and sincere, making every drive and hike a pleasure. Thanks to his experience and thoughtful planning, I was able to witness the incredible gorilla naming ceremony and experience Rwanda in a way I never could have on my own. If you are visiting Rwanda and want a guide who is not only highly skilled but truly dedicated to making your trip extraordinary, Emile is the one to book.

Deserves the top rating!
When I saw all the 5 star reviews for Lion safaris, I thought that it was a scam! Nothing could possibly be that good?!! Oh but it was definitely that good :) Lion safaris had the chore of organising and hosting us for 5 days through Rwanda, Emile was outstanding in his performance! He was personable yet professional and we felt safe in his hands. Highly highly recommend, both Rwanda as a destination and lion safaris - my only regret is we should have booked longer!
