5.00The tour was awesome. The team did their best to make our trip unforgettable and unique. Lisa organized an amazing 7-day tour. Our driver Muhammad was both professional and approachable at all times. Alain, the owner, and another member of the team managed to recover my luggage which had not arrived at Kigali Airport. They drove for eight hours overnight to reach us and ensure my wife got her medication, which was still in our luggage. Plus they organized an incredible birthday party for her… so what else could I say? Hats off to the them! Highly recommended.
Unforgettable!

5.00Alain and his team were fantastic and it’s been a pleasure to work with them. During our family trip to Rubavu, the team was more than accommodating with our requests and effortlessly guided us through planning our little vacay! Alain eased all concerns and made the process as simple as possible! He worked with us on every little information and scheduled a trip to Rubavu that was nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend. A+
Amazing experience

5.00I am always anxious about making plans and being served a different bill so it can only explain why it took me a couple of weeks to finalize my trip trying to find the right agency. I cannot emphasize enough how this team is so transparent with every service they offer. Alain and his team made sure we had ABSOLUTELY every information we needed with incredible organization every step of the way. They literally went the “extra mile” with our family. Pros: amazing value for money, super invested with the community, amazing staff and service. I’m more than happy to recommend their outstanding team to put together the vacation of your life.
