2 Day Akagera Safari Was Amazing - My wife and I planned a two day Akegera National Park Safari with Eco Tours. From beginning to end it was a great experience. The level of communication is top notch. Remember though that there is a 9hr time difference so be patient for them to respond within that time frame.
Our guide, Elvis, was amazing! He picked us up in time and always made recommendations on how our safari could be the best. He was very knowledgeable not only about the park but also the animals and any other Rwanda info you would like. Loved our trip! Thanks Eco Tours!

Use this company - Just the best - From start to finish this tour company was just the best. They have been friendly and accommodating. The safari truck was comfortable and well stocked with water. We had Thio as our guide who was very informative and brought us to spots that had a high percentage of seeing the animals we wanted to see. The boat ride is worth it to see some of the animals you wont see on the drive. If you are considering a Akagera tour this is the company you want to go with.

Incroyable - Incredible excursion! Very professional team, very competent and kind guide who also spoke French. A pair of binoculars would not have been too much. But otherwise, great! Picnic is a meal in a restaurant , outdoors . I highly recommend

Wonderful Game Drive in Akagera! - I went on a day trip from Kigali to Akagera NP and back in a group with 4 friends. This was the best game drive I have ever been on, and our guide Shadaday was outstanding and did an excellent job spotting animals, communicating with park rangers and colleagues to get excellent intel for the day, and drove safely. Everything, went well on this trip, and the only thing I would do differently next time would be to spend more than 1 day in Akagera NP since there is so much to see and experience, and one day didn’t feel like enough time. We saw tons of wildlife including elephants, giraffes, zebras, white rhinoceros, impala, water buffalo, warthogs, crocodiles, hippos, a wide variety of birds including the Goliath heron and African Sea Eagle. I would definitely recommend this company for booking a day trip, or other adventures in Rwanda!

Perfect day - We can recommend the 1 day Safari. We saw 4/5 of the big five and additionally our driver Kevin was the best guide/ driver we could ever imagine. He has eyes like an eagle, he knows everything about the nature and we felt very comfortable to drive with him. The day was from the beginning till the end well organized. It was a perfect day for us!

One of the best guides! A great tour! - We had a fabulous day tour to Akagera National Park from Kigali. Rwanda Eco Company and Safaris provided great communication leading up to the tour. Thank you, Jules! Our driver/ guide, Shadady, is one of the best guides we've ever had. His safe driving and communication about what to expect for the day were top notch. Shadady worked to ensure we saw a variety of animals, checked in with us about our interests, and provided interesting information about the wildlife as well as about Rwanda. This was such a positive experience--one we will remember for a long time to come. We'll happily book again wit Rwanda Eco Company and Safaris.

Excellent Tour Operators - We were 2 couples from Canada and Rwanda Eco Tours and Safaris Company planned and delivered a completely seamless 10 day tour which included Akagera National Park, Nyungwe Park and Volcanoes National Park. Our driver Jado picked us up at the airport and from there everything went smoothly. Our accommodations were great and we travelled in a very comfortable Jeep. Jado was very courteous and answered all our questions. He shared our excitement with seeing all of the big 5 at Akagera and he was very pleasant company. He spoke English and French fluently. We were very impressed with the stunning beauty of Rwanda and the warmth and friendliness of the people. The animals did not disappoint: my favourites were the gorillas but some in my group were particularly impressed with the elephants.
