ExcellentBased on 7 reviewsVerifiedEvan2019-04-13Go with Green Zest--you wont be disappointed! My recent visit to Rwanda was superb, and Green Zest Travels played a vital role in making this possible. Christian is an amazing driver, and has all the qualities of an ideal leader of expeditions. He is kind, informative, and very accommodating. He is very well educated about Rwandan history and historical places in the capital and across the countryside--he was open and captivating in telling these stories--I truly learned a lot from those rides with him. As a researcher of Eastern African wildlife myself, I was particularly impressed by his knowledge of animals, ecology, and conservation history when he guided my visit to Akagera National Park. I owe much of the unforgettable experiences I had in Rwanda to Christian and Green Zest!Verifiedmiskoosuch2019-02-24Excellent tour - fully recommend Christian is excellent guy for any tour in Rwanda. Very customer focused and very flexible to meet or talk anytime. He was able to influence for me to visit the best Gorilla family out there with over 20 of them. When coming to this region will definitelly use his service again. Fully recommend this young gentleman...👍👌VerifiedAmanda T2019-02-23Round trip from Kigali to Butare I needed a reliable way to get from Kigali to Butare and back during my recent business/research trip to Rwanda. Christian of Green Zest Travels was my driver for both trips and was exceptionally safe, prompt, and friendly. I was able to easily get in touch to arrange pick up and drop off times and locations, which made my trip much less stressful. Christian is a wealth of knowledge about both of the areas I was traveling in, which was extremely helpful when I had questions about where to go and what to check out. I highly recommend Green Zest Travels for their professionalism, price, and exemplary service.VerifiedSightseer7903542019-02-14Great Driver and Service Christian was referred to me by a good friend of mine, and he exceeded expectations. He was on time, attentive to changes in plans, willing to help when he could, and overall a friendly but professional driver. He went the extra mile to make sure things went smoothly.Verifiedbakaplin2019-02-12High quality company for travel in Rwanda I have used this company several times to drive to different places in Rwanda for work, they are always courteous and on time, and pleasant to work with. I have recommended them to friends planning holiday trips to visit the national parks and they also had a great experience. Great company!VerifiedInspire295016235152019-01-14Another outstanding time in Rwanda It may be frustrating and time-consuming to plan and organize a three-month trip to your home country when at somehow you feel like an outsider. I am glad that traveling companies such as Green Zest Travels exist. As I have not been living in Rwanda for the past eight years, it was somehow challenging for me to organize a trip and make sure I have all I need for my fieldwork (research), plan visits to my family and friends, get to know what’s new in town, and be able to visit my favorite places such as Akagera National Park, Kibuye beach, Nyungwe National Park (especially the Canopy walk), and many local bars, discos with good music and ambiance, and restaurants with outstanding food! Working with Green Zest Travels company made this trip so easy to plan and so enjoyable. Through Green Zest travels Company, I was able to rent a car for three months on a good price and rent a house where my two research assistants and I stayed during this period. I also received very good advice related to accommodation and restoration in various locations in Rwanda that I visited during my stay. Of course the weekends I would leave my field station and get to enjoy Rwanda. Sometimes, I was so tired of driving all the time and was given a driver to take me to various places where I wanted to go. Few things that I am thankful of are punctuality, no phones while driving, no use of alcohol when scheduled to drive, and paying attention while driving. The drivers who helped me were all skilled and reliable and the vehicles were always clean and well maintained. Safety was never a concern.Green Zest Travels staff were knowledgeable, punctual, very respectful, hard workers, dedicated and were able to follow through. I would add the staff is excellent listeners, quick thinkers, easy to get along with, and know what to recommend to you depending on your mood, needs, and aspirations. I feel so relaxed, rested, accomplished, and ready to head to my second home to enjoy the few months of the winter remaining! Thank you Christian, Thierry, and Justin for all your help and keep working hard. The sky is the limit to what you can achieve and offer. Please if you ever land in New England, please don't hesitate to be in touch. I will be happy to treat you! I certainly recommend working Green Zest Travels Company.VerifiedJourney414041684862019-01-09My travels with GreenZestTravels Our 1st day we went at Nyungwe National Park, and we enjoyed the canopy walk, animals 🐒🐍🦅trees🌴🌱, 2nd day was visiting volcanosNational park where i saw Gorillas🦍, and felt happy for the travels.
