Fantastic experience! So nice for a solo traveler - I used Rwanda Eco Company for a 1 day Gorilla Trek on Saturday July 27th. It was truly a fantastic experience. Even before the trek, the communication from this company was top-notch. They were quick to respond to my emails and answered every question I had very kindly. Their incredible organization was the reason I chose this agency. On the day my guide, Ben, ensured I had the perfect experience and that everything went as smoothly as possible. The day started when Ben came to pick me up from my accommodation at 4:30 am. Ben was there right when I came out. I appreciated that he was not only on time but also early so we could hit the road right away! The car was very comfortable and the drive was very nice. Once we got to the park, he made sure that I got to see one of the best families and I ended up seeing a family of 14 gorillas. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Afterward, we had a delicious lunch and then drove back to Kigali. From start to finish, the day was perfect and Ben was a great guide and wonderful company. He made sure I was very comfortable and had plenty of water and food, plus some extra treats that made the day that much better. I would recommend this company and Ben to anyone visiting Rwanda. I look forward to next week when I do my Akagera Safari with Rwanda Eco Company!

Unforgettable first safari - Ben, our driver, gave us an excellent experience! He went above and beyond, talking with park rangers, other drivers, and park staff to get info on where we could see some of the iconic wildlife. We managed to see 4 of the big five and countless others. On top of that, he managed to fix another tourist's car after they stalled it and couldn't get it to start again. I would absolutely recommend going with this company for a safari!
