February 14, 2023I went on the 5 day Rwanda and Uganda tour, including Twin Lakes, Gorilla trekking, Golden Monkeys and Lake Kivu. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience that... read more I will never forget, I can't thank New Horizons and Zac, in particular, enough. As a solo female traveller they made my experience so comfortable, easy and genuinely life changing. Zac was so kind and friendly, we drove for miles to all the different destinations across Rwanda and Zanzibar meeting fantastic people all along the way, along with the amazing people I met who taught me all about their culture, the other highlight has to be gorilla trekking in Uganda, it was spectacular - got so close to the incredible species and got to learn all there is about them and the protection of them. If you are looking to travel around East Africa, look no further - New Horizons are the company to use!

February 13, 2023This was truly one of the best holidays I’ve ever had. Emmanuel was so organized and patient with me and my many requests. As a female solo traveler... read more I felt extremely safe throughout my holiday. I had the opportunity to hike almost every day, engage in community activities such as harvesting sweet potatoes and cooking them, harvesting tea leaves and learning about the tea plantations as well as the amazing museums, canopy walk, Lake Kivu which included Napoleon Island and Monkey Island. Also going to a school providing education for local children. Of course the most amazing was gorilla trekking. The experience was amazing and I absolutely recommend New Horizon. I will be back, for sure. Rwanda is a beautiful country.

Our 3 days itinerary was great all thanks to New Horizon. From booking reservation with the very understandable and patient, Emmanuel, who patiently adjusts our itinerary until the very last... read more minute of our travel. And on the day of the tour, Nshuti took care of us in every pick up and drop off. He is very kind, approachable, and smiles all the time which makes everyone likes him. And lastly, kudos to Didi (i'm not sure if i get the spelling right) who made our Akagera trip a blast. Sadly we weren't able to see the wild animals but he made sure that we enjoyed the whole journey. We danced, sang, and laughed for the whole day, thanks to him. Everyone loves him! we will all definitely come back and get New Horizon Africa Safaris to arrange our tour once again. <3 Thank you for making my first Rwanda trip memorable.

The primate treks are a little luck dependent, pending the weather and the activity of the animals. Be prepared to do some hiking. But once you reach them, the experience is breathtaking.

My boyfriend and I booked a custom tour with New Horizon and couldn’t have been happier with it. We went to Nyungwe to trek with chimps, stopped by Lake Kivu... read more for a boat tour to the islands, then headed to Volcanoes to trek to see the gorillas. Emmanuel was first a pleasure to be in touch with via email to plan the trip, and he was also our driver guide upon arrival. We actually had to change our original itinerary just weeks before we arrived, and he was so patient & helpful in ensuring we still saw and did everything we wanted. The chimps and the gorillas were unforgettable — both treks were excellently organized. Emmanuel is incredibly friendly and so knowledgeable about Rwandan history and geography — we learned so much just from spending so much time in the car with him while driving! 10/10 would book with this company and request Emmanuel again.

He organized a cake for us, the most suitable primates tours for our experience, the unforgettable tea factory, where we picked our own tea leaves and he always was there for us.
We will come back there and I would suggest to contact Emmanuel when you will visit Rwanda: it is once in a lifetime experience.

I just completed a 7 day community-based tourism tour with Emmanuel which was amazing. Over a week we explored the country visiting different local projects and villages. I spent time... read more with a beekeeper, made pottery with villagers, shot a bow and arrow and danced at a cultural centre. As well as visiting local villages I also saw some of the country's best museums such as the King's Palace and Environmental Museum. It was really great seeing different parts of the country from Nyungwe forest and the blue monkeys to Lake Kivu then Volcanoes National Park. Rwanda really has a lot to offer and Emmanuel was such an informative guide. He really takes pride in what he does and spending 7 days with him was both fun and educating. I travelled here solo and recommend this company to explore Rwanda with.
