Judith Safaris Reviews

Amazing 2 day trip to Akagera National Park We did a 2 day trip to Akagera National park incl. Game Drives on both days, a sunset boat ride and camping. The trip was literally the most fun trip during my stay in Rwanda!! Out driver (Pieter) picked us up in Kigali and stayed with us for the two days. He was really kind and did everything possible for us to see as many animals as possible. And indeed jn the end we saw 4 of the big 5 (only the leopard missing) and in general bad super much fun with him. I can also highly recommend the sunset boat ride, as it was super relaxing, romantic and we saw a bunch of animals from the water! In general the trip was super well organized (camping gear, tents, snacks and drinks, etc.) were provided) so we didn't have to take care of anything and could just lean back and relax. Thank you very much for this experience! Would always do it again!

A flawless day in great company I had an amazing day. Everything was done as agreed. From the booking experience to the preparations to the actual day-trip, everything was flawless. The gorilla trek was an amazing experience and I chose to add a visit to the Ellen de Generes campus after being recommended to do it by Judith Safaris. My driver Janet was a really safe driver and the car was good quality. Janet is also a really cool person, and we had a lot of interesting talks on the way there and back. It was a chill and relaxing day in good company. I would choose Judith Safaris again If I was to return to Rwanda.

Planned and executed professionally I purchased two activities through Judith Safari, the tea experience and the Genocide Memorial / Kandt museum. It was an amazing experience, the tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable. The tour was done with great care and executed amazingly professionally. I would recommend Judith Safari to any tourist visiting Rwanda.

Rwanda Wow! Thanks Judith and Joana! I am not sure if I had one favorite part of this trip. Rwanda is beautiful. Judith Safaris was professional and easy to work with. My tour guide, Joana was like family. The Memorial was sad but a tribute to those who lost their lives and, the future of a nation. I did not stay long enough. I plan to return and I plan to arrange my trip with Judith Safaris.

Two day tour: Lake Kivu, Twin Lakes, Musanze and Tea PlantationdelIcious meal Another fabulous tour with Judith Safaris. I think this was my favorite. Our first stop was the tea plantation. Our guide was knowledgeable .We took a boat ride on beautiful lake Kivu and had a delicious picnic lunch. We spent the evening in Musanze and had a delicious meal while enjoying a fire in the fireplace. The next morning We visited the Twin Lakes. A lovely boat ride to a new hotel and touristic venture. We later had a delicious meal fresh whole fish, dodo and fried potatoes. Take this your it was lovely. Two days of relaxation In nature. Thank you Judith and team.

Museum Tour and Lunch Private tour 2 adults We loved Judith Safaris. They are professionals, knowledgeable and very friendly. We felt like extended family. The Museum Tour was a great introduction to the people and culture. Our driver was Inshuti. He provided us with personal insight which was invaluable. Book your tour with Judith Safaris you will not be disappointed.

Great time visiting the Golden monkeys Went on a day trip to the Volcanoes National Park on a trek to see Golden monkeys with my son & later visited the cultural center. Had an awesome time & Judith was very helpful in resolving an unexpected issue. Very highly recommend Judith Safaris.

Great to rent a car We often rent a car from Judith Safaris. The cars are always in good shape. Very happy to cooperate for many years. Definitely recommend to work with Judith Safaris.

8 days "BEST OF RWANDA" with Judith Safaris After receiving warm recommendations, we booked a private 8 DAYS BEST OF RWANDA trip with Judith Safaris. This hassle-free trip Includes Akagera National Park Game Drive, canopy walk at Nyungwe forest, Golden Monkey Trekking and Mountain gorilla Trekking. The trip included: • All accommodation • 4WD and fuel • English and French-speaking tourist guide • Entrance fees to the national parks • All Activities Judith Safaris is all female drivers and guides run company that aims at giving equal opportunity to Rwandan women and girls in the field of tourism and travel related jobs. An important and valuable ideal that was also a consideration in our choice of Judith. Upon arriving in beautiful Rwanda, we immediately realized that our choice was no less than perfect. We met Joana the tour guide, who is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional and an excellent driver, but also most charming, friendly, and good spirit. We managed to travel for several days in amazing views and except for one lodge all the other places where we stayed were clean and pleasant. Unfortunately, we had to interrupt the trip after four days and return home. Judith, who accompanied us from a distance throughout the journey and solved any problem that arose, showed generosity and fairness, she helped us quickly get organized the flight back home and refund us for those parts of the trip we had to miss. The professionalism, humanity, and fairness of Judith and her staff left us with a great desire to return to visit Rwanda and complete the trip. With Judith of course.

For tourisme and business It's always nice and well organized to stay with Judith. She knows a lot and makes you feel at home and comfortable. She may organize your business and tourisme trips.

A great day trip from Kigali! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He maintained a safe environment during COVID. This is a full day trip with a nice lunch and snacks along the way. Zero hassle and great door to door device.

One of the highlights if my stay The only reason I didn’t give it a five stars rating is that one day is definitely not enough to see the big five (though I was lucky to see the lions) ... I would have loved to combine it with a night drive to see the carnivores at work.

Day trip to Sorwathe Tea Factory I had a wonderful experience with Judith Safaris and my day trip to Sorwathe Tea Factory outside of Kigali. I emailed Judith a few days prior to my trip with a loose idea of what I wanted to do- basically "would it be possible to visit a tea farm & factory?". Judith provided an affordable itinerary very quickly. Celine was my tour guide and she was great- very friendly (like pretty much everyone I encountered in beautiful Rwanda), thoughtful and knowledgeable. The tea tour itself was great and it was really thorough. I learned about the process from picking the leaves all the way to the packaging and everything in between. I have taken similar tours in Sri Lanka and they were very enjoyable also but the tour with Celine and the folks at Sorwathe were especially detailed- which I appreciated very much. We also had a great lunch (with lovely tea) at Sorwathe with an incredible view of the spectacular landscape. If I were to do this trip on my own, it would have taken a bunch of phone calls to find a place to tour, arranging transport, and trying to piece it together. Working with Judith was so much easier. The customer service was excellent- both she and Celine really were interested in me having an enjoyable experience. I really enjoyed my conversation with both. Judith has a very inspirational story and I believe is one of the first woman-led owners of a safari company. Celine was as friendly as could be and she has such positive energy. She was the perfect guide. I really loved my trip to Rwanda and the day trip to Sorwathe with Celine and Judith Safaris was certainly one of the highlights. I highly recommend Judith Safaris and Celine as a guide. It's a locally owned company and was more than happy to support them. I look forward to visiting again one day and trying out some of their other tours.

Alles gedaan in 2,5 week trip gedaan behalve gorilla-safari Prima accomodaties van luxe (Akagera lodge) tot heerlijk basic in natuur (Akagera campsite). Judith had het netjes uitgestippeld. En onze chauffeur Iddy - ook bird guide! Aheeft ons veilig overal naartoe gebracht

This is a must do in Kigali! My and my mum went for a city tour with Irina as guide and Jack as driver. It was just wonderful. With Irina we felt like knowing each other since years and she showed us so many interesting places and explained everything very detailed. Jack always drived very safely and we had so much fun with the two of them. We are grateful to met these two!

Such a great people!! Judith is amazing!! So lovely, professional and reliable! She is one stop "shop" for all you might need while visiting Rwanda. She can arrange not just tours, but a very good cars, place to stay and great local advice. Her team are wonderful people as well. ThumbUp!!

Very Cosy and Ambient Guesthouse! Great and well Organised day tours! Guesthouse is a very nice homely and ambient atmosphere with a great cafe. Day tours are well organised.

Amazing Judith is amazing. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Rwanda and Kigali, and an amazing tour guide. Highly recommend using her services.

"Judith" Though I never went on a Safari with Judith I was lucky enough to stay at her guesthouse in Kigali for six months and I cannot recommend her highly enough. The guesthouse was clean and Judith is an excellent and attentive host who can arrange anything. She organised car rentals for me several times, with and without driver. While I have not yet been on a safari organised by Judith I certainly will the next time I come to Rwanda!
