    This company was terrific, especially our driver and guide Saddy. He picked us up at the airport, toured us around Kigali for 2 days, drove us to the gorilla trekking area and was our transport throughout. Saddy was so knowledgeable, personable, professional and perfect all around. he really made Rwanda so special and terrific!
