5.0/5I had the chance to visit the Akagera Park with my family. It was an incredible and extraordinary moment to see. To see so many animals of different species in a landscape as beautiful as the akagera park I recommend it to everyone. Our tour guide was great with us, they gave us the name of each species we could see and explained to us how they live. On topar of that he was funny and professional. He was able to speak to us in English, Kinyarwanda and even a little French so that everyone could understand. It was a very nice day for us and I advise you. In addition to that quality/price levels are very reasonable.

Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he made us feel comfortable throughout the tour. The communication and service were great, and it was good value for money. He explained every animal in detail and even made sure we saw a lion before we left.

I had a beautiful experience with echoes from Africa. Everything went smoothly. We were able to see every single animal on our list. Our guide/driver was very professional, he knew what he was doing and saying. He did his best for us to see every animal we wanted to see. It was a great experience. Echoes from Africa 🔛🔝
