2 Day Gorilla Trek

From the airport pickup, to the Twin Lakes cultural experience to the gorilla trek, this was truly an unforgettable trip. I was lucky enough to have Jean-Paul as my guide and cannot recommend him enough. His knowledge and energy truly added to my trip and I can't wait to go back and visit other regions in Rwanda with him!

The two hours walking Safari is a must to do if you stay in the boader area to Uganda and Kongo. I had the pleasure to meet Peace Family, a 23 members counting Gorilla group. A fantastic experience with unforgetable memories. Thanks to Emanuele and the entire team.

My Once in a Lifetime

I just returned from a magnificent trip to Rwanda with Blue Money Tours, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! I was travelling with my mother and two uncles. Our guide, Emmanuel, was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to share insights about the amazing wildlife and culture of the country. Godfrey, our driver, was equally impressive, navigating the roads with skill and care. We shared many, many laughs with both of them. One of the highlights of our trip was our Gorilla Trek, which was unforgettable. After our trek, Emmanuel and Godfrey surprised us with a lovely picnic, complete with delicious treats. It was such a thoughtful gesture and added a special touch to an already incredible day! Overall, I highly recommend Blue Money Tours for anyone looking to explore Rwanda. Their attention to detail, warmth, and enthusiasm made our journey truly special. Thank you, Emmanuel and Godfrey, for a wonderful experience!

This was an incredible experience - don't miss out.

I wanted to share something truly special with you all. If you've ever dreamt of getting up close and personal with some of nature's most incredible creatures, check out the great guides at Blue Monkey Tour in Kigali, Rwanda! After a work-related visit to Kigali this past April, we spent the weekend visiting Rwanda's majestic gorillas in their natural mountain habitat and saw playful golden monkeys in the lower hills—these once-in-a-lifetime moments will stay with us forever. The tour was well organized (thanks, Emmanuel!) and included an important visit to the Genocide Memorial Museum. The hotel accommodations were terrific (e.g., clean, comfortable, etc.), transportation was on time and comfy, and the cuisine was delicious.

Operator response
