    My wife and I really enjoyed our Golden Monkeys Tour. Our guide was excellent which made everything run smoothly. This tour included a trip to Akagera National Park. The couple of days we had at the park exceeded our expectations. We would happily do another trip with Devine African Safaris.

    From the planning stages through to the end of our tour the experience was 5 star. The communication from Nicholas at Devine was consistent but not bothersome. We took the 5 day tour which was timed out perfectly! If you would like something a little slower paced then definitely take a six or seven day. All the accommodations were wonderful as well as the people that staffed them. Food was delicious and meal times are flexible. I can't say enough about our guide Emma, he was extremely accommodating, easy going, flexible and concentrated on making our experience memorable! Definitely request him you won't be disappointed!

    Nicholas was absolutely is assisting us to plan our group holiday. No questions were too much. While on your our guides were fantastic and went above and beyond to show us everything. Most of the food and accomodation was great. Overall, we were sad to leave and would definitely recommend this tour company!

    Accommodation in Musanze below standard and very poor food at the hotel's restaurant. We visited 2 cultural villages which was 1 too many. Trip advertised as the big cats but you are flat seeing them in Akagera. Only 50 lions in 1000 km2. This is false advertising. Golden monkey experience excellent. Lodge at Akagera very good but not enough time to enjoy.

    Rwanda is a beautiful country. The Golden Monkey were a delight. It was very well organised. I have 2 suggestions: Could the drivers have microphones? They are very difficult to hear when we are sitting in the back of the 4 wheel drives. Also, the first 2 days of food and accommodation at Garden Court were disappointing. The food did improve. The accommodation was clean but old and basic. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the tour. I thought the guides were both considerate but quite quiet.
