    Our family of four booked with New Horizons for the 6 Days Rwanda-Uganda Gorilla Experience. We made a few changes to the 'standard' itinerary to suit our preferences and New Horizons were very accommodating and responsive to our requests. The tour itself was an amazing experience, combining wildlife tours while also learning of Rwandan/Ugandan culture. Hotels and food options were also excellent. Our guide for the tour, Viateur, was absolutely fantastic. He took care of all of our needs and shared his own personal perspectives of life in eastern Arica. Hearing from local guides gave us a much broader experience on the tour and we very much hope to visit this part of the world again in the future.

    I loved this tour! I learned so much about Rwanda and Emmanuel was a great tour guide. Good price for solo travelers and a very smooth and customized experience. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone who's in Rwanda for only a few days as you get to see so much in a relatively short time.

    I loved both Rwanda and New Horizons. I didn't realize that, for this price, I would get such a personalized tour. New Horizons does not pack you together with a lot of people but provides a personalized travel experience. From the pick up in Kigali, to the selection of activities, everything was top notch. Of course I loved the Silverback Gorillas and Golden Monkeys, but the people and the beauty of Rwanda are worth experiencing alone. If there is something you particularly want to see or if you have specific date restrictions, just start emailing with Emmanuel or his co-founder, and I'm sure they will put something together that you will love.
