Doing the Impossible, Creating Memories

Muraho, we're King's Safaris.

A safari here is built from scarce things: gorilla permits that sell out months ahead, the right trailhead for your knees, a lodge terrace that catches the volcano light. That takes more than time. It takes people on the ground.

Kings Safaris is a Rwanda-born, ultra-exclusive travel and lifestyle company, with an extended brand presence registered in Florida, USA. Our roots in Kigali give us deep local knowledge and trusted relationships across the region, while our U.S. presence offers added confidence and accessibility for our American guests.

We have spent years designing tailor-made journeys through Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa and beyond for travelers from across the globe.

Our goal is a flawless safari filled with unforgettable encounters and quality time with the people you care most about: an hour with the mountain gorillas, the Big Five before breakfast, the mist lifting over Nyungwe Forest. We are here to turn that dream into a reality.

We had heard that going to Rwanda to see the gorillas would be an experience that we would never forget. We expecting a difficult hike to get close enough to see gorillas in the wild. What we had was an amazing and profound experience with amazing wildlife, warm caring people and beyond first-class accommodations. The trip was all made possible by the planning of one of the best travel companies I have ever used. They listened to what we were looking for, came up with an itinerary, allowed us to change as we needed, and the communication was amazing. Their regular e-mails and texts helped us to be prepared, know what to expect. They took great care of us every step of the way. With a helpful guide, the owner checking up to make sure everything was up to expectations and an itinerary that was just what we wanted, I couldn’t have been more pleased with the entire experience. Thank you to Merarry and Paul. I only wish I could use your services for other trips. You’ve made me want to start planning another trip to Rwanda!

All I can say is… WOW!! Merarry and his staff are top notch! From the amazing lodgings at One and Only, to Sam our incredible driver, to making sure our logistics all were as smooth as possible… Kings Safaris went above and beyond to make our family trip a once in a lifetime memorable experience. We cant wait to go back and will recommend this trip and tour company most highly to all of our friends and family.

Upon the recommendation from our veterinarian friend, our group of 12 went on a week long trip to Rwanda with King's Safaris. The itinerary is well thought out and hits all the right notes. Our time with the gorillas was truly magical. The Golden Monkeys, the Genocide Memorial, Akagera National Park, Ellen DeGeneres Campus and more made for a fulfilling week.

Merarry, Moses & Sam gave us memories to last a lifetime. Throughout the planning process and during our adventure, no detail was left to chance. Every "I" was dotted and every "T" was crossed. We learned so much about this beautiful, progressive country and were graciously hosted by this professional, friendly, attentive team. I can't recommend them more highly!

I want to thank Merrary and our driver, George, for making our trip to Rwanda so unforgettable. This summer we experienced the vacation of a lifetime - getting to see the Mountain Gorillas and Golden Monkeys in person. Merrary was excellent to work with in terms of our planning. We truly appreciated his flexibility in designing our agenda around our specific needs. He picked excellent locations to stay, all of which provided 5 star like service. We are very ecstatic with our experience and would not hesitate to use King's Safari again for our next African adventure.

King Safaris made our time in Rwanda truly the trip of a lifetime. Merarry made our trip a dream- from the moment we arrived we felt at home and our trip was the perfect balance of adventure and time to integrate and relax. We absolutely loved our time at Magashi and Bishops house and were lucky enough to have the best guides our entire trip. Paul was so informative and we laughed as much as we learned. We loved seeing everything from Leopards and Lions to Elephants and Hippos and of course our two days with the Silverbacks was absolutely amazing. If you are looking to have every part our your time in Rwanda feel like a home away from home- look no further than Kings Safari. We cannot wait to come back.

Merarry and his staff did an excellent job of providing us with an amazing and memorable experience! As I have traveled to several other countries in Africa, I have been fortunate to have had other game park trips. This vacation was definitely 5 star! We were extremely impressed with the lodgings, food, animal sightings as well as courtesy and friendliness of the staff. Merarry makes sure you will have a terrific experience. He plans every detail, including great guides and an immaculate Safari Land Cruiser. Our driver, David, was exceptional! He went out of his way to make us feel both safe and comfortable all the time. We can’t say enough about Rwanda. It surpassed our expectations in every way! It is truly the gem of Africa! So safe, so clean, so friendly and so lush green!! Thanks so much Merarry for all your help, kindness, and friendship! Will be back.
