Unforgettable Experience in Rwanda and Uganda – Highly Recommend Devine Safaris! My husband and I recently returned from a whirlwind private tour ofAkagera National Park in Rwanda and Bwindi Impenetrable National Forest in Uganda, and we can't stop raving about the experience. From start to finish, Devine Safaris exceeded our expectations. Our guide and driver, Emma, was simply outstanding – knowledgeable, professional, and a joy to travel with. He handled every detail with care, ensuring we were comfortable and informed throughout the journey. His deep understanding of the region’s wildlife, geography, and culture added so much to the experience. Akagera National Park offered breathtaking landscapes and thrilling game drives – we saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos in their natural habitat. The park’s diversity and beauty left us speechless. Crossing into Uganda for our Bwindi gorilla trekking was the highlight of our trip. The trek was challenging but absolutely worth it. Coming face-to-face with a gorilla family in the heart of the rainforest is an awe-inspiring, humbling experience we’ll never forget. Despite being a quick trip, everything was well-organized and seamless – from border crossings to park permits and accommodation. We always felt safe and cared for. If you’re considering a tour in East Africa, we wholeheartedly recommend Devine Safaris and request Emma if you can. This was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, made even more special by the people who guided us through it. Thank you, Devine Safaris – we’ll be back!Show more

This tour was good value and a great way to come to Uganda with a short time frame and to see so much more than just doing Gorilla tracking. There were game drives, a boat cruise, and beautiful scenery all around. Both the gorilla and chimpanzee tracking experiences were amazing. I liked that everything was handled for me and as a solo female traveler I never felt unsafe or had any issues. Highly recommend!Show more

My brother and I had an awesome time trekking for gorillas in Bwindi Uganda and the doing a mix of cultural and wildlife tour in Rwanda. Nicholas helped us in creating our wonderful 6 day itinerary and had great input. For instance the Gorillas permits are cheaper in Uganda. Boaz our guide was outstanding, he took personal responsibility to make our trip fantastic coupled with his easy going nature made the trip extra special. Our tour started in Rwanda where we had a moving visit to the Genocide Memorial, Akagera where we had a great game drive seeing elephant herds, different types of birds, zebras, antelopes and other game, crossed to Uganda spent an amazing day trekking in Bwindi forest in search of the mountain gorillas. When our trackers led us us to the Gorillas high up in the forest, it was an experience second to none. On our ay back to Rwanda we stopped over for an amazing cultural visit in a village (I cannot recall the name) where we had more visits to scenic spots by the twin lakes. My brother are in agreement that this was the best tour experience we've had in a long time. We fully recommend Devine African Safaris for Rwanda and Uganda tours.Show more
