A Truly VIP Safari Experience with Huza Gateway! - Our trip was nothing short of spectacular, and we cannot recommend Huza Gateway enough. From start to finish, the entire process was professional, transparent, and stress-free.
The Planning & Booking
We booked our trip well in advance, and the communication was flawless. Anety from the office was a superstar—she kept us informed every step of the way. We were able to pay online securely, and everything was arranged perfectly before we even arrived.
The Safari Experience
The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly our guide, Nicodem. He truly went above and beyond to make us feel like VIPs. His knowledge of the wildlife and the terrain is unmatched. Thanks to his expertise, we managed to see four of the Big Five along with a breathtaking variety of other animals.
Why we recommend them:
• Seamless Logistics: Online payments and advance arrangements were handled perfectly.
• Expert Guiding: Nicodem made the trip memorable and ensured we saw the best of the wildlife.
• Professionalism: Anety’s communication made us feel confident and valued as customers.
If you are looking for a personalized, high-end safari experience where you actually see the animals you came for, look no further than Huza Gateway!

Memorable Trip in Rwanda_Oneday Akagera National Park - Our full day safari to Akagera National Park with Huza Gateway was an unforgettable experience. From the first contact, Anety was very communicative and helpful, and paying in advance was smooth and secure.
We were guided by Enock, who is truly knowledgeable about wildlife, conservation, and Rwanda’s tourism industry. He knew where to find animals and shared a lot of interesting information throughout the day. We were lucky to see many animals, and the experience felt well planned and professionally handled.
Huza Gateway delivered exactly what they promised. I would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable safari company in Rwanda.

Amazing trip to Akagera! - I had an amazing time in Akagera, our guide JP helped us spot so many animals! We saw hippos, elephants, zebras, rhino, giraffes, and a lion. It was a great experience and everything was planned very well. We were in Akagera for one night and were picked up and dropped off in Kigali. The sunset boat tour was also a great time to spot animals in the water and see lots of birds. I recommend this trip to anyone who wants a great safari.

My second Akagera Safari with Huza - Just coming back to share that I did a second tour of Akagera with Huza Gateway with guide Jean Paul and it was amazing! My first visit, we did a two night stay, and this time we did 1 night. Both are good options. With the two-night stay, we had time to enjoy the hotel and use the pool. But with the one-night stay, we had the opportunity to exit from the North gate to go back to Kigali. Although I live in Kigali, I enjoy not having to drive to Akagera myself so it was great to get picked up and dropped back off in town.

Amazing Experience with Huza Gateway - We were about to make a big mistake of choosing not Huza Gateway for our trip to Rwanda and Uganda, from Kigali city Tour and Akagera national park was supper amazing, Enock dropped us to our hotel in the Akagera National Park then spent a night there and since we had enough time we had our sunset boat ride at the evening after checking in at Akagera Game Lodge which was also amazing hotel, especially their view, rooms and their food, next day our driver guide took us from the hotel and started the game drive which was supper amazing, our Guide Bosco was familiar to the park and we saw so many animals including big4, i am sure anyone knows what we missed and i will probably comeback to find that big Cat
Huza Gateway Team helped i every step of our trip plan and we made our payment early to avoid last minute stress and Enock and His team did all for Us
we Highly recommend this Company for the any experience in Rwanda and even East Africa

The Perfect Wildlife Experience - I cannot recommend this combination of Wildlife experiences in Akagera highly enough. Not only did we receive incredible service from Enoch and his Team but we truly saw every animal we wanted to - and from really close, too. Our guides new so much and shared great stories and info about the flora and fauna we saw. The Three of us really think this was one if the best experiences ever!!
