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.

Amazing experience, best rental services in Uganda!
We had a great experience renting with Uganda Car Rental Services. They offered the cheapest price and best services.
Phionah was very responsible and communicated via emails and telephone, planned our trip to Murchison Falls and other bookings that I did with her. I recommend using their services.
David was our driver all along. He drove us to Murchison Falls, did the game drives, and then on a separate trip to Kyenjojo. David is energetic and funny, caring, shares his stories and a good driver. They have a good team. I will definitely use their services next time I go to Uganda.

Uganda Adventure with David!
We actually booked our car rental very last minute - 10pm the night before leaving! The company had everything arranged for us on the following morning. Our driver, David, came to pick us up at our hostel. David was a safe and knowledgeable driver, and an excellent host, showing us plantations along the drive, and picking up fresh fruits along the way! We would highly recommend the company, and David as a driver!

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.

Great trip, great driver
My brother and I travelled around Uganda for 10 days in a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado from Mumwe. It was my first time in Uganda so I wasn't really prepared for the road conditions (can be very bad) or the way that people drive here (most dangerous traffic I've ever seen). Fortunately our driver David was very alert, careful and not such an aggressive driver as some of the others on the road. He was also a great conversation partner, he taught us much about Uganda, and he remained professional, calm, flexible and relaxed under all circumstances. I was very glad that we hadn't decided to self-drive.
The car itself was good but a bit old, and the air conditioning broke down two days before the end of our trip. Not a big deal with the great weather we had, so we decided to just live with it.
If I go to Uganda again, David and Mumwe African Skimmer Safaris will definitely be my first choice.

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.
