Akagera - beautiful national park and a great place to tour - We had a fantastic day visiting Akagera with Christian and Universal Ventures. My partner and I were on a work trip to Kigali and only had a very short time for fun but the guys at UV were extremely accomodating to our schedule.
The tour itself was great - Akagera is a beautiful park and Christian, our guide, made every effort to ensure that we saw the best it had to offer - the animals were nicely nonchalant about our presence.
Lunch was delicious and the trip to and back was a nice bonus as we got to see a good part of the Eastern Province of Rwanda.
All in all a perfect day - thank you Christian and thanks UV.

Great way to see Africa's wildlife! - What a fantastic trip! We saw tons of animals and were able to get really close. My guide Nzirorera was a very careful driver, I felt safe the entire time. He went out of his way to make sure we found all the best spots and I was able to see all the animals I expected. The stop for lunch was at a nice lodge inside the park and it was delicious.

Don't miss the city tour and akagera safari while you are in Rwanda for your first time. - We have spent best time in Rwanda, it was a tree days stay and we have been able to do some tourism activities including the city tour and akagera safari provided by universal Rwanda, the company owner was a good dealer, through his recommendations we have definitely decided to book and travel with them, we had more than five companies on our list but finally universal won the game hhhh, Kigali city tour and safari were amazing experience and it' a key random to know Rwanda for the first time you are in this beautifully country, we had chance to travel with john one of the best tour guide from universal, the man was so kind, skilled, professional, accommodative and flexible to make our plans even better, we will come back and use their service again, highly recommend the 2 days safari with universal.

Tried to make our private tour into a ‘group’ tour to save money without asking! - What should’ve been an easy tour turned into an anxiety, stressful ridden nightmare! This is my experience travelling with Universal Ventures Rwanda.
I received a random WhatsApp message asking me to confirm my booking, after a few back and forward messages I realised that they said we’d be 3 pax on the day. This wasn’t right as very clearly it says PRIVATE tour, nobody else except your party will travel on the day. This was extremely poor communication as they didn’t explain this whatsoever and made me feel like it was my fault that I was even clarifying what was going on.
After realising their mistake they offered us an “upgraded” car with the open rooftop. This turned out to be good in some ways but awful in others. For example when driving along the windows all had to be down as smoke enters the car from underneath the passenger side front seat, the driver even commented on it and said the windows have to be down. Although we didn’t ask for the ac to be turned on this meant that we pretty much felt gassed out by the sheer amount of pollution coming into the vehicle. Everytime he hit the gas to accelerate the amount of thick black smoke coming out of the engine was horrendous and definitely not environmentally friendly!
The final straw was getting food poisoning, I hadn’t eaten anything else the night before or that morning and then being told that it was your own choice is appealing customer service. The chicken was definitely not chicken, no idea what meat it was but it was disgusting.
My overall experience with these cowboys makes me never want to come to Rwanda and I definitely wouldn’t recommend them to any traveller wanting an easy, stress-free tour. They are aggressive, argumentative and don’t deserve the business, as you’ll no doubt see from their reply!!
