Eric is amazing!!
We were in Kinigi (Volcanoes National Park) to see the gorillas and monkeys with my 84 year old mother. Eric went above and beyond our expectations!! Everything was perfect and he was so helpful, personable and caring. We have traveled extensively and Eric Sabi is definitely one of our top guides!!

Eric was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area and our activities that we had planned
Eric was very helpful. He was there to greet us when we got off the plane and was with us for our entire visit to rwanda. he got us safely to where we needed to be and answered all of our questions. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and was very helpful with suggestions for us for things to do and places to go.

Amazing!
Hope Tours Africa did an excellent job! We visited Akagera and Nyungwe in just two days, and the trip exceeded expectations with smooth logistics, comfortable travel, and unforgettable moments in Rwanda’s most beautiful parks. Everyone in our group enjoyed it. Highly recommended!
