Birdwatchers will be enchanted by the arrival of migratory birds, which add splashes of color and melodious sounds to national parks and lakeside areas. As the year progresses into December, the country buzzes with festive energy, local celebrations, and cultural activities that invite travelers to experience the legendary warmth of Rwandan hospitality.

star rating  Rwanda is Amazing - Had a fantastic experience with Amahoro tours (through jenman safaris).
We got to see such amazing wildlife in Rwanda as well as some cultural/historical places like the genocide memorial/the king's palace/hotel des milles collines. The gorilla and chimpanzee trekking were real highlights. Accommodations were excellent!

And of course, thank you to our guide/driver Mugabe in helping us get to our various locations and explaining various aspects about Rwanda!

star rating  This is THE best tour company in Rwanda! - My husband and I had the absolute best experience with Amahoro Tours and highly recommend you book your Rwanda trip with them. Amos was extremely helpful and we fell in love with Rwanda in large part because we had such a great guide named Edmond who was very professional, prompt, and had a wealth of knowledge. He’s likely the best driver in the whole country so you should request him specifically! After visiting and working with other tour companies in Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zanzibar, we can confidently say Amahoro Tours was the best and we look forward to using them again in the future.
