It was a pleasure to drive with a fabulous team from Kigali to Akagera. And what a knowledge from both. Ofcause it was a extra bonus to be a solo-traveller, but the did their job excellent. Thx from the Netherlands.

Friendly and knowledgeable
I took a private tour with David and his team around Burundi and Tanzania. I spent most of my time in Bujumbura where David took care of all the accommodation and transportation. Whatever I needed he was able to arrange. We took a tour around Burundi off the beaten paths, visiting Kigwena Forest, Nyanza, Agasumo ka Mwaro waterfall, Karera Waterfall, Gitega, and many local sights. Very immersive tour. In Tanzania we visited Gombe national, had a great chimpanzee hike and amazing boat ride in between.
