What our clients say
anitas03032025-07-16Verified 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 G2025-07-10Verified 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. You will be in great hands with Eric and Hope Tours Africa! Escape451104853602025-07-07Verified Exemplary I have been to Africa several times, even trekking to see the gorillas once before, but our most recent trip w Hope Tours was the best by far. They're totally prossional, leaving no expectation unmet. Their entire staff was gracious and accommodating. From this day forward, I will use Hope Tours for all my future Africa trips. Jim G2025-07-05Verified Gorilla and Golden Monkey Treks Eric and Jasmine provide the ultimate in service and attention to detail. Every aspect of our experience reflected their touch and commitment to an absolutely awesome and memorable experience. I could not more enthusiastically recommend Hope Africa Tours and will without hesitation use them again and again. Irebe A2025-04-07Verified Unforgettable Canopy Walk in Nyungwe with Hope Tours Africa! My friends and I wanted to reconnect with our roots in our last holidays in Rwanda, and Hope Tours Africa made it magical! The canopy walk in Nyungwe National Park was breathtaking—swaying above the forest, we felt on top of the world, spotting birds and monkeys. The waterfall hike was refreshing, and Lake Kivu’s serene views were the perfect end. Eric and his team were professional, ensuring we felt at home. Highly recommend this eco-friendly tour for anyone visiting Rwanda! Nadege S2025-04-03Verified Amazing Eco-Friendly Adventure with Hope Tours Africa My friends and I wanted to explore Rwanda sustainably, and Hope Tours Africa was the perfect choice! The Nyungwe canopy walk was an adrenaline rush, with panoramic views of the forest. The waterfall hike was serene, and Lake Kivu’s tranquility helped us unwind. We bonded as a group, laughing and making memories. I loved how the tour supported local communities and avoided single-use plastics. Eric’s team was fantastic—knowledgeable and warm. Highly recommend! Archil M2025-03-13Verified Tour operator is highly recommended We had an amazing experience at Akagera National Park, Rwanda. We had a great time and tour was excellently organized. Our driver/guide was Germain. Tour2875672024-10-12Verified Hope Tours arranged the entire experience including a driver/guide, hotels and tours. Our 15 DAYS WILD TREASURES OF RWANDA & UGANDA TOUR trip covered a lot of ground between Entebbe, Uganda and Kigali, Rwanda, the highlight of which was trekking with chimps in Uganda and mountain gorillas in Rwanda. Leandra M2024-08-27Verified Amazing experience and excellent tour company My mom and I went on the 2 day gorilla trek experience with Hope tours Africa in July and it was amazing. Seeing the gorillas was an unforgettable and nearly indescribable experience. We were fortunate to find a large gorilla family with 2 silverbacks, several females, some young adults and even 2 babies. We also visited the gorilla museum and a local craft market. I was very excited to find a locally owned and operated tour company that is dedicated to conservation and sustainability. Eric was amazing and ensured that every detail of our trip went smoothly. All the accommodations and food were excellent and the vehicle was nice and comfortable. I honestly can't think of a single thing that Hope Tours Africa could have done better. I highly recommend you book your trip with them! brendan f2024-07-26Verified Touring with Hope We spent several days touring through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater with Hope Tours and Eric. It was an incredible adventure. Eric took care of everything we could wish for. Our guides were knowledgeable and the sites and communities we visited were unforgettable. I can't wait to join Eric and Hope Tours someday in their backyard of Rwanda.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
