Read stories from independent travelers who explored Rwanda with Friends of Ape's.
"Trekking with the mountain gorillas was a spiritual experience. The guides from Friends of Ape's Tours were incredibly knowledgeable and respectful of the wildlife. The entire trip was seamless, from the pickup in Kigali to the lovely eco-lodge in Kinigi. 10/10 recommendation!"
"Nyungwe is a photographer's dream. Suspension bridges, lush canopy views, and chimpanzee calls echoing in the mist. The local guides knew exactly where to find the chimpanzee groups and helped me secure the perfect shots. A truly outstanding and eco-conscious company."
"We booked the Akagera safari with our two teenage children. Spotting a pride of lions and then watching elephants drink at the water's edge from our boat cruise was spectacular. The customized 4x4 cruiser was very comfortable. The platform made booking and payment simple."
