Testimonials
Judith2025-08-19Verified Trip of a lifetime! I cannot recommend Birding and Educational Tours Rwanda enough! I had a phenomenal experience that was tailored to my specific interests. Claudien was more than accommodating (especially when my luggage arrived late), and still somehow managed to keep us on track. The whole trip ran smoothly, from pickup to drop-off. We even stopped at several locations on the way to Nyungwe, which provided the opportunity to observe different habitats and a wider array of species. Claudien and Jean-Pierre were super knowledgeable and professional. I learned a great deal from them, and we far surpassed my goal of identifying 100 species in three days. I can't wait to return and do it all again someday! Phaedra H2025-07-30Verified Unfortunate experience I had a very disappointing experience with this tour. Communication with Claudien was unprofessional and at times, rude. As someone who has lived and worked in Rwanda for nine years, I have never encountered a company that failed to deliver and treated customers with such disregard. I would advise others to avoid this company. Kristen11132025-07-29Verified Wonderful birding experience Wonderful birding experience. Claudien was a great birding guide, very informative, friendly and great with logistics. Even though we had birded in East Africa before, we still had over 50 lifers in 4 days of birding. Claudien was also happy to tell us about Rwandan culture and politics. Very informative and interesting. Louis B2025-07-09Verified Awesome birding in Nyungwe national park My wife and I stayed in Nyungwe national park for 4 nights for birdwatching with Birding and Educational Tours Rwanda. It is a truly beautiful national park, with great walks and birdwatching. Our guide Jean Pierre and our driver Alex were 10/10 - they could not have been any better, they are real experts at finding the local birds having guided there for many years. They were also a joy to spend time with! We were lucky to spot almost 100 bird species, highlights included the local weavers (including the strange weaver), the turacos, crombec, handsome francolin, many wattle-eyes and sunbirds. There are also many monkey species that we heard and saw, including a large troop of colobus monkeys.We stayed at the Ken Barham Guest House, which I would also recommend - simple facilities in beautiful surroundings (amongst the tea fields) with very attentive staff and delicious homestyle food.When we return to Rwanda, we will definitely use Birding and Educational Tours again, I strongly recommend them to anyone interested in birding as they have great local guides. Thank you Jean Pierre and Alex!! Francesca P2025-07-01Verified Visit to Lake Kivu & Nyungwe National Park We had an incredible experience with Birding and Educational Tours. Everything was well organised and professionally managed by Claudien and Alex. In just 48 hours, we visited Lake Kivu, hiked through Nyungwe National Park, and embarked on an unforgettable trek through the rainforest—where we had the rare privilege of seeing wild chimpanzees. Highly recommended! jetpackjeth2025-06-24Verified Great nature tours in Rwanda Claudien and Alex took me on wonderful trips - an afternoon of birding near Kigali, and then 2-day trip to Lake Kivu and Nyumbe NP for birding and chimpanzee treks. Claudien has exceptional birding knowledge, reflecting his wide experience. The 2 day trip to Kivu/Nyumbe was expertly organised, fun and breathtaking.
