  Extremely well organized tour provider. From the initial contact to taking care of getting the Gorilla permits and providing transport back and forth from Kilgali I could not be more... read more pleased. Our driver Yuhi was a super nice guy and took excellent care of us on the day of the trek.

  I had the opportunity to visit the Vulcanoes National Park to do the (very accessible) trek to see the golden monkeys last week.

As a solo woman traveller,... read more it is not easy to find good companies and I am very happy to confirm that New Horizon Africa Safaris is absolutely fantastic!

Emmanuel picked me up at my hotel in Kigali (he even arrived a few minutes earlier than schedule, and at 4.25 in the morning this is an extra point 🙂 and made sure I had the perfect experience, tailoring the day to my preferences and needs!

The Golden Monkeys experience takes up your morning, so after that, we were able to go around Musanze and see a great art gallery of local painters, and then back to Kigali to spot Rwandan art (Inema centre) and even look for (and find!) a store I had read about, ending our day at the busy, colourful, almost overwhelming Kimironko market - a true taste of Kigali's life 🙂

During rhe car ride, we had great and interesting conversations and I learned a lot about Rwanda's culture and people.

If I could give 6 stars I would 🙂 truly a great experience. I will definitely come back to Rwanda and book other adventures with Emmanuel and his team!

  I had a wonderful experience with New Horizon travelling all around Rwanda. My driver Theo was brilliant and full of interesting information, always making sure I had what I needed... read more and my guide in Akagera, JP, was great and got me close to my favorite animals.

  Our group of nine people traveled through Uganda and Rwanda for about ten days in July 2024. All the logistics were organized by New Horizon Africa Safaris and personally managed... read more by Emmanuel, Zac, and Philip. The organization was excellent—everything went smoothly without any problems. Our luggage was delayed upon arrival in Uganda. The New Horizon team succeeded in retrieving it from the airport and safely transporting it to us in the jungle, which was amazing. The accommodation, food, and all included services were of high quality without any delays or interruptions. We visited several national parks and cultural sites. All the permissions and entry tickets were secured beforehand in a highly organized manner. I really enjoyed working with New Horizon and its team both online and on the ground. I am especially thankful to Zac, who fulfilled all our needs on the ground and was very punctual and helpful. I highly recommend New Horizon Africa Safaris for your East Africa journey. Thank you very much once again, Emmanuel, Zac, and Philip, for your dedication and hard work! Best regards, Pavel Gospodinov, Thousand Voyages, Bulgaria

  My brother and I visited Rwanda and went to Volcanoes National Park to see the mountain gorillas, spend a day in Kigali and do a day safari trip to Akagera... read more National Park. New Horizon Africa Safaris did an incredible job being our drivers + tour guides for our entire 4 day trip.
The mountain gorillas were obviously incredible. A total bucket list item that everyone should experience once in their life! But our guides took our experience in Rwanda to the next level.
They were extremely kind and welcoming. They were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make our entire Rwanda experience even better than expected. From taking us to the best restaurants to try the local cuisine, to finding a fun banana beer making experience to showing us little hidden shops with well priced souvenirs, there isn't anything they couldn't do. Their hospitality and warmth is unmatched and they created such a memorable trip for us!
If you're thinking of visiting Rwanda, definitely reach out to new horizon. You will not be disappointed. I've been raving about Rwanda and this company nonstop to anyone who will listen <3
Thank you so much for an amazing trip 😀

Emmanuel was a great guide arriving to collect us exactly when he said. We had interesting conversations about Rwanda and he answered lots of questions.

Thank you New Horizons.

  Good communication via Whatsapp. Professional guide who knew everything about the park and the location of the animals. Well organized!

  You will feel so good supporting two Rwandan entrepreneurs and their team--let alone the community of trekking guides and porters--if you go to Volcanoes National Park.

  I chose this company for my private 2 day chimpanzee trekking trip. Everything is well organized. The guest house where I stay is clean with good food and great service... read more (more authentic than a lot of 5-star hotel I've been).

People are friendly and authentic. I definitely recommend this company and Rwanda for your next trip.

  Great experience with New Horizon, thanks to Emmanuel. We stayed 5 days in 2 different hotels. Saw the chimpanzees, gorillas and monkeys. Emmanuel told us a lot about his country.... read more Of course we went to the memorial, good to have done but very sad. We also spend a day touring in Kigali with Emmanuel, that was very nice. I’m sure we will come back to Rwanda, it’s a beautiful country, so clean and save. And the people are very nice and helpful. Thanks again and see you next time.

Beautiful country, I wish I could go back there again 😍

  I did some online research, read the good reviews about New Horizon, and emailed them with a list of places I had in mind. Emmanuel helped me put together an... read more itinerary that factored them in.

Kudos too to my driver Christophe who was very easy-going and his driving skills were admirable given the long driving hours and navigating of some rough terrain he had to do. I would thoroughly recommend New Horizon to anyone thinking of travelling to Rwanda.

  Fantastic trip! Everything went incredibly smoothly. If I ever have a chance to return to Rwanda, I will definitely go with New Horizon again!

  The tour overall was very good organized. My tour guide Zacc was the friendlyness in person, very attentive and professional. He’s an excellent driver, which was very important on certain... read more roads. His observing eyes where so helpful on our game drives, where we find a lot of animals. The Lodges where amazing and the food everywhere very delicious. I can highly recommend this tour.

But most of all, the gorilla trek was phenomenal! We had the most amazing experience and really grateful to new horizon and their team.

Besides having very fair pricing... read more (they actually even offered to help us try to get a conference discount for the trekking permits because we were there for a conference, which was most appreciated !!!) Emmanuel was great at communicating prior to our trip -- prompt email responses, accurate and quick information for what we needed to do to secure our permits, and clear instructions on what we needed and where to be ready on the morning of our gorilla trek. He arrived right on time and we had an excellent 2.5 drive with him, while he happily answered tons of our questions. The gorilla trek itself was amazing (you have a different National Park guide for that) -- and then Emmanuel took us to a restaurant on the way home which we definitely enjoyed (outdoors, array of food choices) and also offered for us to stop at the Cultural Museum on the the way back as well, which was an added and appreciated bonus! Thanks Emmanuel - we wish you the best!
