Excellent service, friendly staff, quick responses
We (a couple) rented a car and driver/guide via Mumwe African Skimmer Safaris for 3 weeks in June 2016 and have been very happy with the great service provided, also being one of the best prices to find online. There are more appealing websites out there but they ask double or even triple of the price, so take our advice and don't let your uncertainty about information influence your decision: this company is a good and trusted one! We were picked up at the airport in time by the director (Phionah) and Driver/Guide (Haruna) - both extremely friendly and service-oriented. For 3 weeks, we traveled around the country incl very remote area's (east and north, but also mountain area's in west/south) and it was a true pleasure. Due to bad road quality we had a couple of flat tires, but we faced no trip delays due to timely resolving by the driver. Had an excellent trip, received great advice about routes/places to stay/etc and highly recommend reaching out to this company to book your rental car (with or without driver and/or guide) in Uganda. - Many thanks!

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.

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.

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.

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 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!

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!

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.

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!
