Why Travelers Love Hope Tours Africa
Irene SVerified Highlights of Rwanda - not to be missed! We did a six day tour covering a chimpanzee hike in Nyungwe National Park, a golden monkey hike in Volcanoes National Park, Lake Kivu and Kigali. Eric was an excellent and flexible guide who supported us to do additional activities in the parks and whose knowledge about his country was exceptional. At each venue we were able to view the animals and sights we hoped to see with time to enjoy the beautiful scenery.This was an easy trip to book with excellent communication from Eric at all stages. Would highly recommend Hope Tours for any Rwandan trip. S WVerified We love Rwanda. We saw the key spots and he was courteos. He had great follow up in ensuring ou Great experience with Hope Tours while we visoted Kigali. Beautiful city Beautiful people. Thanks Hope Tours for helping us to understand the real history JerryVerified Eric is great! We were lucky to have Eric as our guide during our trip in Rwanda. We did a city tour of Kigali including the genocide memorial and went to volcanoes national park for 3 nights for gorilla and golden monkey trekking. Eric was friendly and professional. He provided a lot of information about the country which was helped us get to know Rwanda better. He was well-organized and was always on time and kept us informed of the plans each day. The car was always clean and everyday he filled our water bottles with drinking water. In Kinigi he took us to the Dian Fossey center and a shop that sold some really nice work of local artists, he also suggested other activities including Gorilla Guardian Village but we didn’t have time to visit on this trip. We ran out of cash towards the end of the trip and he helped us made arrangements so we could pay/tip our guides and porters, which we really appreciated. We had a great stay in Rwanda and Eric definitely made the experience even more enjoyable! cpollard7Verified Eric Sabi is amazing! We were in Kinigi (Volcanoes National Park) to see the gorillas and monkeys with my 84 year old mother. Eric went above and beyond our expectations!! Everything was perfect and he was so helpful, personable and caring. We have traveled extensively and Eric Sabi is definitely one of our top guides!! Kathi WVerified definitely needs to be on the bucket list this was an amazing experience. We did one day with the gorilla track and the next day the golden monkey I can’t describe the feeling of walking up and turning a corner and seeing a family of Gorillaz, it was breathtaking and brought tears to my eyes. this is definitely a must do if you can swing it. Serge TVerified Akagera and Nyungwe National Park Visit Hope Tours Africa did an excellent job! We visited Akagera and Nyungwe in just two days, and the trip exceeded expectations with smooth logistics, comfortable travel, and unforgettable moments in Rwanda’s most beautiful parks. Everyone in our group enjoyed it. Highly recommended! DayTrip589160Verified A wonderful guide and experience! Eric was a wonderful guide during our time in Rwanda. From the moment landed in Kigali to our time gorilla trekking, he was fantastic. Very organized, professional and friendly! He shared a lot of information with us about life in Rwanda, traditions and history. We visited the Genocide Museum which was very informative and emotional. He took us to a wonderful village in near Volcanoes National Park where we were entertained with singing, drumming and dancing along with learning about local culture. We also went to the Dian Fossey museum and a delightful local craft shop that supports female artists from the area. We had an unforgettable experience and we thank Eric very much for his kindness and hospitality! Murazkoze! Jeff JVerified Eric was knowledgeable, thoughtful and very helpful From the moment that Eric picked us up at Kigali airport after midnight to the time he dropped us back there four days later, he could not have been more attentive to our needs. He brought his country to life and ensured that we had the experience of our lives at the Volcano National Park spending an hour with the incredible gorilla family. He also made us aware of the Gorilla Guardians village which was another highlight. Our visit to the Genocide Museum was an important, if confronting, experience. If you are looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, thoughtful and very helpful guide in Africa you should contact Eric at Hope Tours Africa. anitas0303Verified Amazing bucket list trip! We could not be happier with our experience with Eric and Hope Tours. We reached out to Eric in February 2024 and he was so wonderful and helpful (and patient!) over the year plus in planning our adventure with us. Eric is an amazing host and guide in Rwanda thru Kigali and Volcanoes National Park. The gorilla trekking was perfect and just so special. Truly beautiful country and people. Hope to visit again! Susan GVerified Beyond expectations! Wow! Wow! Wow! We were so lucky to have found Eric Sabi who was our guide in Rwanda. Not only was he super-knowledgable about EVERYTHING, but one of the nicest people I've ever met. I've travelled the world and had many a guide so I know how hard it is to find an intelligent, flexible, fun and kind guide. Eric made sure we got to wherever we needed to be for our treks, coordinated day 2 trek so we could be with new friends we met day 1, coordinated an early entrance to the Genocide Memorial Museum before our flight, took us to a local restaurant for dinner, stopped along the road so we could interact with some locals, and the list goes on. Eric is SO delightful and greatly enhanced an already wonderful experience.
