Gama Travel and Tour Agency hosted my stay in Kigali during an academic collaboration, ensuring all my travel needs, city touring and even preparation for participation in the Kicukiro commemoration event on April 14th, during which they provided personalized accompaniment. As a social science professor and researcher, I cannot thank Gama Travel Tour and Agency enough for enabling both my professional and personal enrichment. This is in addition to the safety and enjoyment their services provide. Thanks to Gama, all phases of my stay and work went smoothly.

I traveled to Rwanda in April as part of a school project, and I was warmly welcomed right from the moment I arrived at the airport by the Gama Travel team. We truly loved our experience and completely fell in love with Rwanda. The people are kind and welcoming, and the country is a beautiful place to discover. During one of our days off, we had the opportunity to take a guided tour in Akagera National Park with our guide Samuel Bikorimana. He is an outstanding guide who ensured our safety and comfort throughout the entire day. The Gama Travel team arranged transportation from our hotel, which made everything smooth and easy. Once there, Samuel demonstrated great professionalism and genuine kindness. We felt very comfortable from the start and had an amazing safari experience with him. We were able to see giraffes, zebras, elephants, and more. He really made an effort to help us see as much as possible and shared a lot of knowledge about the park and its wildlife, which made the experience even more meaningful. Samuel’s passion, professionalism, and dedication made this safari truly unforgettable. A big thank you to the entire Gama Travel team for their excellent service and kindness. Our trip to Rwanda will stay with us forever.

The experience was truly unforgettable—rich in wildlife, beautifully organized, and guided by experts who made sure we had the best possible sightings. From the stunning landscapes to the incredible diversity of animals, it was a memorable adventure for our entire group. What stood out most was the agency’s strong commitment to hospitality, safety, and delivering an authentic Rwandan experience.
