Explera planned our Kigali holiday end to end — flights, safari lodge & tented camp, sightseeing and visa where needed, all on one bill. Every day ran exactly to plan. Best travel agent in Surat, honestly.

★★★★★
Our family holiday to Kigali was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 10-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.
