Best Guide Ever - This was the first safari for my husband and I. I must say Christian was the best guide. He was willing to answer all of our questions and he made us feel very comfortable. He recommended places to take selfies and he even jumped in a few photos with us. Anyone wanting to try a safari I would definitely recommend you ask for Christian!!! You would not regret it!!!

One of the best family trip experience in Akagera National park for big 5 and many more - Was early in the Morning for our drive game in the Akagera International Park. Our Driver and Tour guide Christian was on time for departure and had advised on some tips before departure. It was a very good experience and we managed to see the big 4 (Rhino, Lion, elephant, Buffalo) out of the five plus more than other 13 species Thanks to Christian's experience which allowed him to know where to look for these animals in the Park. We wanted to enjoy the boat ride but we couldnt because it really took us some time to locate lions and Logan my son wanted to see them Badly. I recommend Christian especially for his experience of the game, driving skills, attention to rules and discipline. See you again Akagera next year.

My Family Trip at Akagera National Park - I had promised my Children to take them for a trip at Akagera National Park during April holiday and I was much amazed on how we had a very good experience , saw different types of animals , 🐦 , nice view and trees 🌳 it was incredible nice. My gratitude thanks to @Christian Tuyisenge , An experienced Tour Guide , who knows the park from all corners, He is humble, Knowledgeable and he couldn't accept us to leave the game park until we saw atleast 4 from the Big 5. I recommend him and the companybhe works for @Universal Venture Rwanda to anyone planning to have a trip in any park across Rwanda. God bless you Chris for making my Kids enjoy the experience.

Akagera NP experience - The Private 1-Day Akagera Big Five Safari was an incredible experience! From the prompt hotel pick-up to the guided exploration of Akagera National Park, everything was seamless. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured we spotted the Big Five and more, including zebras, giraffes, and hippos. The private nature of the tour allowed for a personalized and unhurried experience, perfect for photography and learning about the wildlife. Lunch was delicious and set in a picturesque location, adding to the day’s charm. This safari was well-organized, engaging, and unforgettable—a must for anyone seeking Rwanda’s stunning natural beauty and wildlife!
