What Our Clients Say

Travelling in Rwanda with Great Rafiki Safaris was a perfect introduction to travelling in Africa. After seeing so much of Europe, Asia, North and South America the idea of visiting Africa started to take hold.

Top of my wish list was to the see the endangered gorillas.

My experience was of well organized transport, clean streets and friendly people together with beautiful landscapes and one of the most incredible wildlife encounters on the planet.

So if you would like to travel to Africa but are a bit unsure, why not try travelling in Rwanda?
