    The guide, the itinerary and overall organization was very good. The only thing we did not like was the distance of the Emeraude Kivu Resort, where we stayed for 3 nights, from Nyungwe Park to which we had to drive every morning (4:00am). Over 1 hour drive one way was way too long.

    The tour was great. The itinerary was well thought out and reasonably paced.The guide, Lucky, was a little inexperienced but was very efficient and kind. He dealt with every aspect of the tour quickly and professionally. I would highly recommend him. Touring Rwanda was one of the best experiences we had during our many years of travelling. I would highly recommend this tour.
