Perfectly organised safari We contacted Ian on a short notice to arrange for us a trip to Akagera. Being a last minute request, we found him to be very fast, gave us all information we needed and booked the trip.Akagera Nat park is close to Kigali, few hours drive from the capital, spent the day in the park and was amazing.

An Incredible lifetime experience We did the gorilla trekking tour from Kigali. Our tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The experience is almost not describable, such close up with the gorilla families, almost in touching distance. Our two-night stay at Ingagi Park View lodge was special, where do you get a complementary foot massage after the trekking? The visit to the Ellen DeGeneres - Dian Fossey research center is fun and educational. Highly recommended. Africa Explore tour really take care of their guests.

Amazing experience Amazing experience, getting up-close to these beautiful animals. It's very expensive in Rwanda - $1500 just to get into the national park - but worth it (unless you want to do it in Uganda, where it's 1/3 of the price).

Professional, Helpful & Fun - Recommended When I learned I had to go to Rwanda for work, I naturally decided to spend a few extra days there to see the famous mountain gorillas, and to do a safari. But where to begin? Visit Rwanda - eventually - sent me a spreadsheet with the names and contacts for every tour operator in the country. I reached out to a handful of them. I whittled my shortlist down to two. They were both helpful and patient in answering all my (many) questions, but Kinoti at Kawira seemed more interested in ensuring my trip was amazing and fun, rather than squeezing as much out of me as possible. He even noted that as I was speaking at a conference, I was eligible for a 15% discount on entry to the Volcanoes National Park (where the gorillas hang out) - no small thing when it's $1500 in Rwanda (a price set by the government). Anyhoo - I had an amazing day with the gorillas. My driver - Zidane - was friendly and fun. The Akagera Safari was OK (didn't see lions or leopards, but that's not Kawira's fault - they were just playing hard-to-get that day!). And if/when I next find myself in Rwanda, I will happily use Kawira again.

Kawira Safari Out-done themselves after a long wait due to COVID I enjoyed the experience very much. Had a wonderful time and it was absolutely a new thing for me to experience such a trekking with Gorillas and cultural tour. Am glad was able to do this trip after many cancellations due to Covid Pandemic.

Amazing! We had an absolutely amazing time on our two-day tour with Kawira! Iddy was a fantastic guide, extremely friendly and knowledgeable and lots of good conversation along the way. Ian went above and beyond to organize our tour as well as help us organize other parts of our vacation. Nyungwe Forest is just stunningly beautiful and is a must-visit for a trip to Rwanda. I can't recommend Kawira enough - great tour and lovely people!
