We are very pleased with our tour operator and recommend her fully.
We contacted Phionah for our mountain gorilla trekking adventure in Rwanda and we could not be more pleased with our experience and the service we received. Phionah was very helpful with coordinating the entire trip and very responsive, quickly replying to any and all questions we had. Payment was easy and secure and the driver we were matched with, Nuru, was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and such a great person to have with us throughout our stay.
I recommend Phionah and Mumwe African Skimmer Safaris and the Gorilla Trekking experience is like no other!

renting car with friends
With a group of friends (10 of us), we made a trip around Rwanda last August. We needed to rent a van for some parts of this trip (in Akagera national park, in Cyangugu and in Gisenyi). We found that the service that was provided by Mumwe African Skimmer Safaris was excellent, with very cautious and kind drivers who facilitated every step of our trip. We were also very pleased with the vans, comfortable enough for ten people with lugages (one bag for each). Fot Akagera we prefered to have two vans for the facility to take pictures of animals.
We have much appreciated the flexibility of Mumwe African Skimmer Safaris to provided vehicles where and when we needed them and we recommend this company to people looking for car rentals in Rwanda.

Excellent service with Ugandan style
We used Mumwe Safaris / Uganda Car Rental Services for six days during September. We travelled through northern Uganda including the Murchison Falls Nation Park and Ziwa Rhino Reserve on a program we had designed.
Our driver Dan was friendly and knowledgeable about Uganda and a great guide and company on safari. He made us feel comfortable and addressed our queries and hick-ups to our program.
The Prado car was well prepared and proved a very cost-effective way to visit areas not on the normal tourist routes.
We would highly recommend the driver Dan and Mumwe Safaris / UCRS.

Safe, Reliable, and Friendly Driver and Car Service
I rented a driver and car to drive up to Moyo and it was wonderful service that David provided. He was friendly and accommodating as well as prompt and timely, and most importantly he was a very safe and good driver. I felt comfortable the entire time we were driving. As we were travelling on extremely bad road conditions we did end up with a flat tire but David managed it with professionalism, humour, and no stress. And I very much appreciated how capable he was with handling the problems when it arose. We were in and out of refugee camps a few times and David did wonderful at navigating and being able to return to areas we had only been guided to once. I felt well taken care of through the entire trip. Overall he was a perfect driver and I would be very happy to travel with him again in the future.
I thank you again for his services and look forward to doing business with you again in the future.

Safed our trip and made it perfect and unforgettable
We rented a Rav4 and booked gorilla permits with another company before arrival at Entebbe airport. The car finally was provide by this company and the permits as well. The car was in excellent condition and we haven't had any issue with it throughout the whole trip. Irene and Fiona have been our contact persons who we trusted and helped us at any time we contacted them. Of course we can recommend to book with them!

Great value and service
We had great help even from the first enquiry. Phionah helped us plan the trip in detail to our needs which allowed us to focus on enjoying the trip. David who met us was kind helpful and assisted us as much as possible. The car was good and what we needed.. no mechanical problems and was a lot of fun to drive! Would recommend to others and would use them again!

Loved working with this company!
I needed a transfer from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park for my Gorilla Trek. I was overwhelmed with operators until a friend recommended Mumwe African Skimmer Safaris to me.
They made it so easy from the start. They were always quick to respond to my emails.
My driver, Nuri, was the best!
I'll use them again when I return to Rwanda.

The pearl of Africa
The service was excellent. Phionah helped set up my driver and visits to the national parks. Gerald was the best driver I could have hoped for. Gerald really cared about my safety.

Amazing trip around western Uganda
We used this company to do a 8 day trip in western Uganda. Phionah was always quick to respond to our emails, always reliable, available and willing to provide us with all the informations we needed. The organization of our trip was challenged by all the covid restrictions in our country of origin, so we had to modify the dates twice and Phionah helped us to make this trip possible by being flexible for us and understanding. We thank her a lot for that! Our driver Gerald was way more than a driver, he was also a friend for us, a knowledgeable guide, a negotiator, there is no situation that Gerald can't handle! He made our trip so smooth and easy, arranging everything for us all the time, making sure that we were having a great time everyday, sometimes even going out of his way to go beyond our expectations. He was always available and caring. He is also a super nice person and we enjoyed sharing conversations and laughs with him. He was the best driver we could have hoped for! We had a wonderful trip of a lifetime in Uganda thanks to Gerald and Phionah, we would recommend them 100% to anyone who wants to discover this beautiful country.

Great rental car option
We rented the the Land Cruiser Prado w/o the driver (we had a friend for a in country guide). The process was quick and simple. The staff was excellent, professional and very like-able. The Land Cruiser was in great shape and drove like a dream. The only regret I have is not hiring the Mumwe African Skimmer Safaris driver, the roads are not marked well and if we would have hired the Mumwe African Skimmer Safaris driver, we could have saved a lot of time by not getting lost. I WILL recommend Mumwe African Skimmer Safaris to anyone traveling to Uganda.
