Empleando personal con experiencia en atención al cliente, en ese campo nuestra experiencia fué nefasta, en lugar de dar soluciones se las tiene que buscar el clliente.

We went to akagera for two days prior to a conference and it really exceeded our expectations! In rainy season the park was beautiful and green, with stunning views of rolling hills and wonderful lakes. Over two days we saw pretty much everything other than lions, including a herd of elephants, a leopard, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, hyena, zebra, Impala, baboons and warthogs as well as many bird species. Our guide Patrick was immensely friendly and professional and we couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Our guide Anaclet was very accomodating and knowledgeable. It is obvious he loves his job and his enthusiasm was infectious. We learned so much from him and enjoyed the time we spent with him.
