I had an excellent experience with Camp & Explorer in Rwanda. Steven organized everything perfectly: he came to pick me up at home, provided breakfast and lunch, and took care of every detail throughout the day. We hiked Mount Jali, enjoyed authentic Rwandan food, and visited the golden monkeys in the Virunga volcanoes area. Steven knows the region extremely well and shows it in a genuine and respectful way. If you want to discover Rwanda from its most authentic side with someone reliable, kind, and truly dedicated, I highly recommend Camp & Explorer. Steven is a great guide and a great person.Posted on isaac makinyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our Mental Health expedition in Kigali, Rwanda was memorable. We had an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the traditional and modern Rwandan culture, exploring the beutiful recreation sites in Kigali, the Kigali City tour and even the views of the city as we hiked through Mt. Jali and Mt. Kigali. All this was made possible through the patience and professionalism of Mr. Steven Niyogakiza. I will definitely want to come back and even refer more people. Thank you for making our trip memorable.Posted on Lucy-Anna KellyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful, peaceful location in nature with expansive views of Kigali and within easy reach of the city. Delicious, freshly-harvested, home-cooked food around a camp fire after a fun hike that included one of the several suspension bridges around here. Stephen and his team went out of their way to make this a special experience for us. Thank you!Posted on KibuchiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Une superbe expérience culturelle au Rwanda accompagné par notre guide Steven ! 🇷🇼 Steven nous a préparé un circuit sur mesure d’une semaine pour nous faire découvrir le pays des mille collines et ses traditions. Il nous a guidé dans des endroits remarquables comme la forêt de Nyungwe et proposé des activités insolites. Une petite surprise vous attend pour les amateurs de sensation forte ! 😉 Il nous a également organisé une excursion en bateau sur le lac Kivu, puis un safari guidé dans le Parc national de L’Akagera pendant lequel nous avons eu la chance d’apercevoir de nombreux animaux. 🦓🐘🐊 Toujours positif, il a négocié pour nous et veillé au bon déroulement de notre voyage familial.
