We have nothing but a fantastic experience with them. All made a dah that we will never forget. With a special shoutout to our guide Sam. He knew everybody and made sure we had the best experience possible. Small detail; we saw the BiG 5 in one day!
Ruben Schaafsma · Brazil
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.
Sara · Spain
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.
