Excellent guide and driver

We spent a week with Jean-Marie touring around Rwanda. He is an excellent and careful driver. He is very knowledgeable and made our visit to Rwanda very special indeed. We highly recommend him and would certainly use him again if we return to Rwanda (which I hope we will!).
