August 2018 All of Rwanda

Rwanda between 6 Aug 2018 and 18 Aug 2018

Trip rating: Excellent
"This was an incredible trip that is even more amazing given the limited time Amanda had to prepare.

Everything I could have thought of from Rwanda was included. I would love to go on another safari prepared by Expert Africa, and I will be recommending them to anyone who asks for my opinion.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Maybe just a little more detail regarding information about the lodges and accommodations.

Hard to find something to improve on such a great experience!"

Kigali Tour and Genocide Memorial Visit

Kigali Tour and Genocide Memorial Visit

"Awesome memorial outside museum"

18 Aug 2018 • All-day excursion

The memorial and burial outside in the garden is beautiful.

I was a little disappointed by the actual museum, and I feel like I learned more with the help of my guides throughout the trip and with local people.
