About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- emilysP3819WG0 contributionsPerfectionDue to an unexpected issue with our rental car (a different company), we needed the assistance of a driver at the last minute. We found Silverbird in the afternoon, and by morning we were set up with an amazing driver (and guide), Justin. We had the best week and Justin continuously went above and beyond to make our trip memorable and comfortable. Could not recommend more!Written February 2, 2025
- Cosmopolitan7111580 contributionsSeamless and Memorable 1-Day Akagera Safari with Silverbird ToursI recently went on a 1-Day Safari to Akagera National Park with Silverbird Tours Agency, and it was an unforgettable experience! The team was so thoughtful, they came to my hotel the day before to go over details, accept payment, and ensure I had a packed breakfast for the early start. Our driver, Justin, was fantastic, kind, punctual, and knowledgeable. The vehicle was comfortable, with WiFi and a power plug, and we even had a fun coffee break for souvenirs on the way. During the safari, we saw so many animals, thanks to the drivers communicating about sightings. Some of the animals we saw were: Zebras, Giraffes, Elephants, Water Buffalo, Baboons, Antelope, Rhinos, and much more! Lunch was delicious, and everything ran smoothly. Despite our tight schedule (we had an 11 PM flight out of Kigali), Silverbird made sure we enjoyed the park without feeling rushed. I’m so impressed by their professionalism and care. I highly recommend them for anyone visiting Akagera! 🌿🦒🦓Written January 27, 2025

- 363lennartv0 contributionsPerfect Safari in Uganda! 10/10 Recommend!This trip was absolutely perfect! At all: I was sceptic at first to transfer that amount of money to an agency I have never heard of before. But the communication with Frank from Silver Birds was amazing. He was very patient and answered all of my questions (and I had many). The actual tour was phenomenal as well! Big shout-out to Noah our guide, who was an absolute legend! I can't recommend the Silverbird Tours Agency enough! 10/10 experience!Written December 17, 2024
- mikalina7270 contributionsBest Safari experienceWe had a very great time at the Akagera National park! Such a beautiful place with amazing animals. We were able to see a lot of animals such as black and white rhinos, giraffes, lions, hippos, monkeys, baboons and different types of birds. Many thanks to Peter for all the support and guidance booking this amazing experience. Also thank you to Justin our tour guide. He was very informative, kind and helped us look for the animals. This is a place you must visit when you go to Rwanda.Written November 24, 2024
- coriomichaelcorio0 contributionsAmazing Great Apes Tour!!I couldn’t recommend Silverbird Tours more- the guides were friendly, informative and knowledgeable. The wildlife, scenery and offerings in Rwanda were amazing- from the spectacular gorillas, to chimpanzees and a plethora of monkeys in stunning tropical forests. The accommodations, itinerary and care organized by Silverbird Tours was a 10/10!!Written November 5, 2024
- friab20210 contributionsOnce in a Lifetime ExperienceI can vouch for Silverbird Tour Agency’s ability to provide you with a once in a lifetime experience. They are trustworthy and will do everything they can to make your trip amazing. I decided on a private tour so that I could experience a safari in Akagera, Gorrilas in Volcanoes national park, chimpanzees in Nyungwe and loads more activities in between. Justin was my guide and driver, taking me all over the country - never a dull moment! I felt completely safe during my entire trip even as a solo woman. Countless animals on safari, just feet away from wild gorillas relaxing in their natural habitat and listening to chimpanzees are memories I’ll cherish forever. I did so many other amazing activities in between the big treks. Highly recommend the bee keeping experience near Nyungwe. Don’t hesitate to book with Silverbird, they are legit! Give Justin a promotion and some days off ;) ask me any questions via Instagram so I can help you plan a trip! @fria.lorraineWritten October 23, 2024
- O9255NWgeorget0 contributionsA Good Day!This was an amazing view if the REAL Rwandan countryside. Can't believe how clean everything was and the pride the citizens take in their land. Johnathan was a great driver! The lake was awesome, in spite of the thunderstorm. All in all, a wonderful day. Fully recommended.Written October 8, 2024
- paulettes20190 contributionsWhat a Fantastic Day!We highly recommend this tour! We were picked up promptly at 5am for a four hour ride from Kigali to the national park. Jonathan, our driver, was responsive and accommodating to any request and always with a smile, shared information about Rwanda’s culture and answered our plethora of questions. He made short stops along the way so we could take pictures of monkeys and baboons we saw next to the road and made sure all our needs were addressed. The park experience was fantastic. The guides were knowledgeable, excited to share this gorgeous environment with us and made sure we were comfortable at all times. The food at the park was very good. It made for a fun and interesting day. We are happy we chose this tour. Thank you again Jonathan!Written September 6, 2024
- bebe4380 contributionsBest safari experience!!!!We had a great time! Beautiful views and we managed to see most of the animals, such as Lions, impalas, Zebras, Baboons, Monkeys, giraffe, black and white rhinos, Hippos and different types of birds. My favourite animal we got to see were the rhinos because we were able to get close to them. Our guide Justin was amazing. He was very friendly, informative and helped us find the animals. I would definitely recommend to visit the Akagera Park when in Rwanda!Written August 13, 2024
- kemeriyaa0 contributionsAMAZING!!!!!This was my first solo vacation, and I chose to visit Kigali, Rwanda, as I have been before and was familiar with the country but I specifically came to experience the gorilla trekking at Volcanoes National Park and to take a much-needed break. The trek exceeded all of my expectations—it was not only a great exercise in nature but also an incredible opportunity to learn about the country's conservation efforts. Seeing the gorillas was one of the most profound experiences of my life. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Silverbird Tours Agency, specifically Mr. Peter who helped me organize everything smoothly while I was in Ethiopia. I also want to especially thank Mr. Justin who drove me for 6 whole hours without tiring! They were incredibly helpful, informative, kind, and, above all, protective. They answered all my questions and made the experience truly memorable. Thank you for an unforgettable trip.Written August 9, 2024

Last month, we had the incredible opportunity to spend four days in Rwanda, exploring its stunning wildlife with Peter from Silver Bird as our guide.
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed. Peter guided us through each visit, sticking to the planned schedule with precision and without any hiccups.
We visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial and then traveled north to seek out the majestic mountain gorillas and the enchanting golden monkeys.
Throughout the journey, Peter was exceptionally accommodating, fulfilling some of our special requests and even adding a few extra stops.
Our experience exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend Silver Bird for planning your adventure.
