Obed was a true professional. His service was impeccable. He answered all of our questions, made himself available at all times, and was quick to respond. He even dropped off and picked up our rental at our home. I highly recommend using this business when traveling to any corner of Rwanda.

10/10 Good cars and service. Car + driver. Obed is the best. We did also a multiple day trip with car and driver. It was super. Thank you.

Very friendly, unbureaucratic and efficient. Surprising low price, but basic insurance only. The 4x4 was quite a used one, few things not working, scars and scratches, but robust and reliable.

I had a 48-hour layover in Kigali and squeezed every second out of it — thanks to Obed. He picked me up from the hotel, and we spent the entire day exploring Kigali.
