Why Choose Us
Seamless Transfers, Every Journey
At Pick and Transfer, our airport transfer service is far more than simply getting you from A to B. We understand that after a long international flight, the last thing you want is the stress of navigating unfamiliar roads, currency exchanges, and unreliable transport. From the moment your flight lands, our experienced driver-guides are waiting — ready to whisk you safely to your safari destination in comfort and style.
We operate across Uganda and Rwanda, connecting Entebbe International Airport (EBB) and Kigali International Airport (KGL) with every premier national park and wildlife destination in the region. Whether you are heading to the misty peaks of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest for a gorilla trekking permit, the open savannahs of Queen Elizabeth National Park, the volcanic slopes of Virunga, or the chimpanzee forests of Kibale — we have you covered, every kilometre of the way.
Our transfer service is trusted by independent travellers, group safari bookings, tour operators, and repeat visitors who know the value of a professional, dependable transfer at the start and end of any East African adventure. We are proud to partner with leading regional tour operators including Kenlink ToursPartner, bringing our guests the best of both worlds — expert local knowledge and seamless logistics.
Transfer Routes
From Airport to the Wild
We cover all primary routes connecting the two main international gateways of East Africa with the region's greatest national parks and wildlife destinations. Below are our most popular transfer corridors:
Entebbe Airport (EBB) → Uganda
Entebbe to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
Our signature route takes you through the rolling hills of western Uganda to the doorstep of Bwindi, home to nearly half the world's remaining mountain gorillas. A breathtaking overland journey through the Great Rift Valley escarpment.
Kigali Airport (KGL) → Uganda
Kigali to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
For many gorilla trekkers, flying into Kigali and transferring directly to Bwindi is the fastest and most scenic option. We handle all border formalities at Katuna/Gatuna crossing seamlessly.
Entebbe Airport (EBB) → Uganda
Entebbe to Queen Elizabeth National Park
Uganda's most visited park, famous for its tree-climbing lions, elephants, and the spectacular Kazinga Channel boat cruise. We transfer you directly to your lodge within the park.
Kigali Airport (KGL) → Rwanda
Kigali to Volcanoes National Park
Rwanda's premier gorilla trekking destination. A swift and comfortable transfer from Kigali through the lush volcanic highlands to your lodge at the foot of the Virunga mountains.
Entebbe Airport (EBB) → Uganda
Entebbe to Murchison Falls National Park
Home to the world's most powerful waterfall and excellent Nile delta wildlife, Murchison Falls is a favourite among first-time Uganda safari visitors. We offer both direct and overnight-stop transfer options.
Kigali Airport (KGL) → Rwanda
Kigali to Nyungwe Forest National Park
One of Africa's oldest and largest montane rainforests, Nyungwe is a world-class destination for chimpanzee trekking and canopy walks. Our transfers pass through some of Rwanda's most stunning highland scenery, including a stop option at Lake Kivu.
What We Offer
Why Our Transfers Stand Apart
We have built our reputation on a single promise: your transfer will be as reliable, comfortable, and safe as the safari itself. Here is what every Kigali Transfers to Bwindi airport transfer includes as standard:
Modern, Well-Maintained Fleet
Our vehicles are regularly serviced, comprehensively insured, and fitted with comfortable seating, air conditioning, and safari roof-hatches. We operate everything from private saloons to 4WD Land Cruisers and minibuses. View our fleet to find the right vehicle for your group size.
Expert Driver-Guides
Every transfer driver doubles as a qualified safari guide — knowledgeable about wildlife, birding, culture, and local geography. Your journey to the park is already part of the experience, with on-road wildlife spotting and fascinating commentary along the way.
Flight Monitoring & Meet-and-Greet
We monitor your flight in real time. Whether your flight is early, on time, or delayed, your driver will be waiting at arrivals with a name board — no extra charge for waiting time due to delays beyond your control.
Fully Licensed & Insured
All our vehicles carry comprehensive passenger insurance and are licensed to operate tourist transport in both Uganda and Rwanda. You travel with complete peace of mind knowing you are in safe, professionally regulated hands.
24/7 Operations
We operate around the clock to accommodate all flight times — early-morning arrivals, late-night departures, and everything in between. Our 24/7 online booking platform means you can reserve your transfer at any hour from anywhere in the world.
Cross-Border Transfers
Seamless Uganda–Rwanda border crossing assistance is part of our service. Our experienced team handles all border formalities, vehicle permits and temporary import documentation so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the spectacular scenery at the Katuna/Gatuna crossing.
Hotel & Lodge Drop-Off
We transfer you all the way to the entrance of your chosen lodge or camp within the national park — not just to the nearest town. We know the precise locations of lodges inside Bwindi, Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, and across Rwanda's parks.
Dedicated Support Line
Every transfer booking comes with a dedicated WhatsApp support line. Whether you need to update your arrival time, have a question en route, or require urgent assistance, we are always reachable. Contact us on +256 (0) 772 793157.

Our trusted partner Kenlink ToursPartner also offers complementary Kenya and Tanzania extensions for those wishing to explore a broader East Africa itinerary.

Our Commitment
A Transfer Service Built for Safari Travellers
Unlike generic taxi or ride-share services, every aspect of our airport transfer operation is designed specifically for safari travellers. Our vehicles are equipped for long-distance overland journeys on East Africa's varied road surfaces — from tarmac highways to the rugged murram tracks that wind through national park interiors. We carry essential supplies including drinking water, first-aid kits, and emergency roadside equipment on every transfer.
Our team is deeply embedded in the East African tourism ecosystem. We work closely with national park authorities in both Uganda and Rwanda, maintaining excellent relationships with lodge managers, park rangers, and border officials that ensure our clients experience minimal friction at every point of their journey. For travellers combining gorilla trekking in Bwindi with a Rwanda extension — or vice versa — our cross-border transfer expertise is unmatched in the region.
We are also committed to responsible, sustainable tourism. We work with communities along our transfer corridors, purchase fuel and provisions locally wherever possible, and ensure that our operations contribute positively to the livelihoods of local people along the routes we travel. When you book a transfer with us, you are choosing a company that cares not just about your comfort, but about the region you are visiting.

Return Transfers from Parks to Airport
Our service works equally well in reverse. Whether you are concluding a gorilla trek in Bwindi and flying out of Kigali, finishing a wildlife safari in Queen Elizabeth and departing from Entebbe, or travelling between parks before your flight home, we coordinate all return transfers with the same attention to timing and detail. Simply book your return transfer when you book your inbound journey, and we will ensure you never miss a flight.
We also offer flexible car hire and self-drive options for travellers who prefer independence on the road after their initial airport pickup. Our Travel Guide is also an excellent resource for understanding road conditions, park entry requirements, and what to expect on your overland journey.
