Eric was Exceptional
Eric made my trip to Rwanda absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we met, he was welcoming, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to ensure I had an authentic and amazing experience. I even got to spend my birthday with gorillas, something I’ll cherish forever and Eric made it all feel so seamless and special with a bottle of champagne. I felt safe, informed, and genuinely cared for the entire time. If you’re visiting Rwanda, Eric is the guide you want hands down!

Amazing Journey with wild Journeys Rwanda
The trips was booked in less than two weeks. Aisha the CEO made sure i got value for my money. Always checking on me from the time i landed at Kigali International Airport until when I left after 3days trip. The 4×4 land cruiser was so comfortable with Air condition, charging system, a fridge with cold drinks on board. The Guide was amazing he spoke fluent English very smart and organized. He asked me if i needed an easy, medium or long Gorilla trek. I highly recommend Wild Journeys Rwanda.
