When my friend and I decided to visit Rwanda, we researched many options for tour companies to show us the country. Usulama Tours went far and beyond to make sure we got to see all the beauty of Rwanda.
Even before arriving, communication was quick and easy. We were able to customize a tour with an airport pick up at 2 am and a late-night check in to a beautiful hotel that Usulama booked for us.
Upon arriving at the airport, we were greeted by Darius’s warm smile. We had no idea that it would be Darius himself, the owner of the company, that would be picking us up. He was excited to see us and treated us like we were old friends coming to visit him.
We spent the next three days with Darius touring the city of Kigali and doing a two-day safari in Akagera National Park. Darius knows every person in Rwanda. At every museum, store, restaurant, and facility we entered, the staff greeted us like old friends because they knew Darius and his trademark smile. He made sure we toured like locals, explaining Rwandan history, customs, and foods to us. We tried all the local foods and drinks. Darius went out of his way to find it all for us. You want to taste the local banana beer? Darius will find you a place that brews it. You want to go to a non-touristy restaurant where the locals eat with their families? Darius will take you there.
Our entire time was filled with laughs, selfies, and a great time with our new local friend. I highly recommend Usulama. We enjoyed our time so much that we booked a second tour with them, which Darius was more than happy to do for us.
