Great trip across Uganda with Explore Rwanda and Mr. Haruna
Booked with Explore Rwanda well before the Ebola outbreak. They were super flexible with our adjustments. We flew into EBB, drove across Uganda and had a fantastic trip with Mr. Haruna. Super nice and personable man. We had great conversations along the way. We crossed the equator, drove up the mountains, and well-rested for our gorilla tour. Afterwards, we drove to Kigali and spent a few days in Rwanda on our way. We had a great experience with Explore Rwanda and our driver/guide Mr. Haruna.

An Experience of a Lifetime!
My husband and I journeyed through Uganda and Rwanda with Explore Rwanda Tours was nothing short of extraordinary. It is an experience that blended breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and seamless organization into a truly unforgettable adventure. From the very beginning, the planning process was handled with remarkable care and professionalism. A special thanks goes to Grace, who designed our itinerary with incredible attention to detail. She took the time to understand our interests and preferences, crafting a trip that felt both personalized and perfectly balanced. Her communication was prompt, thoughtful, and reassuring throughout, and her kindness made the entire experience feel welcoming even before we arrived. The trip itself exceed all expectations. Uganda's lush greenery, diverse wildlife, and vibrant local communities were captivating; while Rwanda's rolling hills and clean, serene atmosphere provided a beautiful contrast. Each destination felt carefully chose, allowing us to experience both the iconic highlights and hidden gems of the region. Our highlight of our safari was tracking mountain gorillas in Bwindi forest and getting to see the infants play. A hug part of our enjoyment came from our driver, Elisa, who was exceptional throughout the journey. His professionalism, safe driving, and deep knowledge of the areas we visited made us feel comfortable and well taken care of at all times. Every aspect of the tour, from accommodations to activities, was thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience without any stress. It was clear that Explore Rwanda Tours takes great pride in delivering high-quality, meaningful travel experiences.

Incredible Rwanda
We had an amazing experience exploring Rwanda — from the unforgettable gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park to the calm and beautiful Lake Kivu and the lush Nyungwe Forest. The itinerary was well planned and smoothly executed throughout. Special thanks to Vincent for his professionalism, calm driving, deep knowledge, and consistently polite and helpful attitude, which made the journey even more comfortable. Rwanda is stunning, safe, and truly unique, and this trip will stay with us for a long time.

Gorilla trek
I did gorilla trek two weeks ago in Bwindi National Park in Uganda. It was a two-day trip from Rwanda's capital, Kigali and it was a breathtaking experience that I recommend to everyone. First of all, I would like to thank my guide Apollo, who took good care of me the whole time, for the several hours of difficult driving between Uganda and Rwanda, which he had to do four times in total, and for his knowledge, which he shared with me during the trip about both Rwanda and Uganda. It was very interesting and informative. Shortly after picking me up in Kigali, we stopped at the Kigali Genocide Memorial, which I recommend to everyone without exception. The reminder of Rwanda's bloody history was a very emotional experience. It is important that this Memorial was created so that we can learn from what happened in Rwanda at that time and so that it never happens again. After visiting the Memorial, we headed towards Uganda with a stop for lunch. We arrived at Rushaga Gorilla Havens Lodge, where we were staying, in the evening. The accommodation is simply furnished but has a wonderful atmosphere and beautiful views of Bwindi National Park. The staff here are very friendly, pleasant, and helpful. Early the next morning, we set off for the station of the local rangers who guard the national park. Here we had an informative meeting about how the gorilla trek would proceed. There were only six people in our group. We were very lucky because our trackers found the gorillas after only two hours, so we were able to enjoy this experience very early on. The encounter with the gorillas was an amazing, breathtaking, and completely indescribable experience. We saw a gorilla family of five, nicknamed X-mas because the silverback male was born on Christmas Day. They were completely calm, so we were able to get within two meters of them. We spent about an hour here, which I will remember for a long time. They are amazing and adorable creatures. The trek itself can be challenging for some, as you never know how long it will take to find the gorillas. And the national park is located in mountainous, rugged terrain, so you're walking up and down the whole time. The trek is also not the cheapest experience. The national park permit alone costs $800. But the experience is definitely worth it. You'll have memories that will last a lifetime.

A “mist do” while in Rwanda!
Incredible natural beauty and an abundance of wildlife. We were able to see lions, giraffes, zebras, hippos, rhinos, and many other animals. The rangers are super knowledgeable and know exactly where to look for the animals. We were a party of five and very comfortable in the spacious jeep. Lunch was provided, along with plenty of bottled water. It’s a bit of a hike from Kigali (-3 hrs), but I can’t recommend this highly enough!

2 day safari in Akagera Park
We did a short two-day safari and all were very well organized by Sandra. Our guide Vincent was perfect, very kind he knows the park by heart and managed to show us the maximum. It's an unavoidable experience and if it were to be done again it would still be with this organization. Thank you for helping to put stars in my children's eyes.
