Safari , Gorillas, golden monkeys Fantastic outstanding tour So friendly went above and beyond to make our tour a life long highlight.

Beautiful time in Rwanda What a fantastic week in Rwanda, tailored trip to suit our needs and delivered an epic trip with Safari and Gorilla trekking! Fabulous tour guides and everyone was so friendly. Hotels were gorgeous!

An Unforgetable Journey Though Rwanda Traveling in February 2026, our experience in Rwanda was extraordinary, thanks entirely to our guide and driver. From the moment Anna and Gerard greeted us at the airport, we knew we were in the best hands. EAST handled every detail with professionalism, warmth, and genuine care, allowing us to simply enjoy the beauty and culture of this remarkable country. EAST organized two unforgettable gorilla treks and one golden monkey trek in the Volcanoes National Park. EAST's knowledge of the parks, procedures, wildlife, and local conservation efforts added to our experience. Our time in Akagera National Park was equally impressive. EAST arranged two game drives, where we saw a variety of wildlife and learned so much about the park’s history, restoration and ecology. Gerard's sharp eye identified lots of wildlife and his expertise made the experience both exciting and educational. Beyond the parks, Anna took us to the Kigali Genocide Memorial and helped us understand this difficult chapter in Rwanda's history. Gerard also took us to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Center, and a local cultural center, each visit thoughtfully planned and deeply impactful. EAST seamlessly managed all hotels and meals throughout the trip. Every accommodation was excellent, every meal delicious, and every transition effortless. We never had to worry about a thing. This was more than a tour—it was a beautifully curated journey led by people who clearly love their country and take immense pride in sharing it with others. I cannot recommend EAST highly enough. If you’re planning a trip to Rwanda, do yourself a favor and book with EAST. They customized our trip according to our requests, answered all my questions in advance, and helped us navigate our travel. You will not regret going to Rwanda and seeing the mountain gorillas in their habitat. It is an experience of a lifetime.

Amazing Safari Experience with East Africa Safari Tours East Africa Safari Tours made our trip to Rwanda unforgettable! Everything was perfectly organized, from the accommodations to the guides and activities. The team was professional, helpful, and caring. We felt safe, welcomed, and supported every step of the way. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a truly memorable safari experience!

Best honeymoon experience - will rebook Summary: Perfect experience with excellent value for price (we did 2 days gorillas, 1 day golden monkey) Top strengths: 1) Fast and responsive team: Texted about flight changes and changes in transfer requests and they responded almost immediately. 2) Flexible: adjusts quickly based on preferences for activities changing - gorilla treks are more tiring than you’d expect and we changed our itinerary after the tiring activity 3) top-tier hospitality: they made sure the hotel catered to all of requests, and they organized a special event for us given it was our honeymoon. Booking with them is personal, and not just a transactional experience. Highly recommend. Even better if you get to interact with Anna and Bora in planning and Gerrard as a driver.

Title: A Magical Safari Experience with East Africa Safari Tours My safari with East Africa Safari Tours My safari with East Africa Safari Tours was absolutely magical! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel like family. Seeing elephants, giraffes, and rhinos in their natural habitat was a dream come true. Special thanks to Bora for organizing this unforgettable trip. I’ll treasure these memories forever and can’t wait to return!

Unforgettable Akagera Safari with East Africa Safari Tours and Gerrard Our Akagera safari was truly unforgettable! East Africa Safari Tours took care of every detail, and our driver-guide Gerrard made the journey outstanding. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always made sure we were comfortable. We saw elephants, giraffes, rhinos, zebras, and enjoyed a magical boat ride on Lake Ihema with hippos and crocodiles nearby. Gerrard’s patience and passion for wildlife made this trip extra special. Highly recommend!

Magical East African adventure with East Africa Safari Tours Rwanda. Anna went above and beyond. She was not only a professional guide but also deeply knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife and culture. Gerrard our driver was incredibly kind, patient and always made us feel safe and comfortable. We explored Akagera National Park in Rwanda and did Gorilla trekking in Uganda - both were magical experiences that were well organised and seamless from start to finish. I highly recommend East Africa Safari Tours for anyone looking for a well planned, authentic and personalized East African adventure.

Volcanoes National Park Adventure My visit to Volcanoes National Park was perfectly organized by East Africa Safari Tours. The driver who took us there was punctual, professional, and full of knowledge. He explained the history of the park, the volcanic formations, and even the local communities living nearby. His insights added so much depth to the journey before we even began the hike.

Elephant Sightings in Akagera National Park with East Africa Safari Tours One of the most unforgettable moments of our safari was seeing elephants in Akagera National Park. These majestic creatures moved with such power and grace—it was truly humbling to witness. East Africa Safari Tours made the experience smooth and enriching from start to finish. Our driver was incredibly skilled, navigating the terrain with ease and positioning us perfectly for safe, respectful viewing. He was calm, professional, and always attentive to our comfort. What made it even more special was Anna’s detailed explanations. She shared fascinating insights about elephant behavior, their family structures, and how they interact with the environment. Her knowledge added so much depth to what we were seeing—it felt like more than a tour; it was a learning experience. I’m grateful to East Africa Safari Tours for organizing such a well-paced and thoughtful adventure. The elephants were breathtaking, and the team made sure we appreciated every moment.

Fantastic and efficient one day tour The communication when booking the tour was great. They even sent me a reminder the night before so I wouldn't forget the 3am start time. Gerrard my tour guide was super helpful and kind. Would recommend Mgahinga over Bwindi as the trek tends to be shorter and less tiring. Also closer to the Rwanda border if you're driving over from Kigali for a day like I did. Recommendation to future tourists would be to take plenty of money for tips (although they are optional) for the trackers, rangers, the porters, the guide once you get to the national park and your tour operator guide/driver. Overall a memorable day and we were able to get very close to the gorillas which I wasn't expecting!

Fun time in Akageera East Africa Safari Tours arranged our Akageera visit including transport to and from Kigali and hotel stay near Akageera. The driver Jared also was the tour guide at the Akageera park and helped us see a lot of animals there. We had a fun time for a good price. I was there with my wife and 4 year old daughter and they had a great time

Excellent time in Rwanda I know any tour that Anna is part of will be exceptional. I was in Rwanda in Sept 2024 and she took excellent care of me seeing to every detail so that I had a most memorial experience!

We experienced a wonderful time and every moment of our trip was good surprises in this beautiful country . Thank you the team for orginising well our trip to the Park of Akagera Very professional Team and special Anna who made our trip so special

The Best of the Best ! Having travelled to Rwanda on a quarterly basis for years, I am intimately connected to the area and the people. In fact, I have a Rwandan wife, home and properties. With confidence, I can say East Africa Safari Tours is the best of the best. The owner and staff are warm, personal and honest, t fair prices while other operators gouge their tourists. Speaking English, they are knowledgeable and well connected with the East African countries which allows them to create a memorable experience regardless of your budget. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and I recommend East Africa Safari Tours to all friends and family.
