Getting that closer to a gorilla is the best experience that ever happened to me. Lobelia Tours guides are the best. The outstanding service is commendable. See you again in in two years time!
We loved the gorilla trek experience in the volcanoes. Thanks Lobelia Tours and Travel Agency, my husband and I had great moments in Rwanda. Your attention to details is incredible. We will surely come back!
I have travelled to Rwanda a couple of times and know the country quite well - yet there are situations where I like to benefit from Lobelia Tours' great experience and excellent network. Most of all when it comes to the question of transportation in some more remote areas, which can be difficult to reach if you are traveling individually and without your own vehicle. If you need a Mototaxi to pick you up at an appointed time in the middle of nowhere, these guys are going to arrange it for you (and much more)! Their office is located centrally in Kigali and dropping in while planning your next trip is never a waste of time! Read more
