We had an incredible time. It is difficult to put into words how magical this experience was for us and our 18 month old daughter. Our driver, Tim, was so knowledgeable and charismatic. He did such a great job connecting with us and our baby. He always made sure we didn't want for anything. The car was comfortable and well stocked. Do yourself a favor and go on an adventure with getaway expedition. Request Tim as your driver. I promise you, you won't regret it.

During a visit to Rwanda, a large group of about 30 of us utilized this tour company for 2 days to do a safari at Akagera and a tour of Kigali! They made transportation very convenient by picking us up in Kigali to enjoy a day-long excursion to Akagera. The day started at 5am and ended at about 10pm! They were incredible driving us around the entire day. The following day we toured around Kigali visiting the Genocide Memorial and Kandt House Museum. I appreciated their itinerary and planning. I highly recommend using this company!
