What Our Riders Say

Maik Schwarz
A truly smooth and pleasant experience from start to finish. Naomie, Dominik and the team were professional, kind, and incredibly responsive. Everything was exactly as promised, and the service felt personal and thoughtful throughout. The quick refund of the deposit and the friendly communication round off what was an excellent rental. And on top, I had an awesome tour through Rwanda (...)
Shelena
Absolutely great rental place! I rented a light scooter to cruise through Rwanda, and Kigali Motorbike Rental provided excellent service. They are responsive, flexible, and communicative, offering great travel advice tailored to your needs. The owner, Dominik, is an overall sociable and knowledgeable guy. And not to forget—the bikes are fantastic. Definitely recommended!
Vineet N R
The team was super friendly and helpful. I rented an Apache RTR 200cc which was in excellent condition and a joy to ride. Took it all the way to Lake Muhazi without a single issue. I’ll definitely be back soon. They also have high end models such as the BMW which I am planning to rent next.
Daniel Piret
Excellent service! I rented a Cyclone 250, covered over 2,000 KM in Rwanda, and about 500 KM in Kagera, TZ. Dominik and the team were supportive, arranged all the required international paperwork flawlessly, and were incredibly helpful and attentive during my two-week trip.
Brian Zubkoff
I recently had the pleasure of renting a motorcycle from Kigali Motorcycle Rental, and I can confidently say it was one of the best experiences I've had! The selection of motorcycles available was nice, catering to various preferences and riding styles.
