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.

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.
