The East African Community (EAC) is a regional intergovernmental organization of 6 Partner States: the Republics of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, the United Republic of Tanzania, and the Republic of Uganda, with its headquarters in Arusha, Tanzania. The Great news is that Car Rental congo operates in all these states offering Car Hire with drivers or on self-drive. The cars offered include Saloon Cars, SUV cars, Mini Vans, and other trucks for heavy machinery with extra services like MICE management and Africa Safaris around Lake Victoria.

Many Traveler that are planning Safaris in East Africa asks tour operators which visa to apply for and Car Rental Congo has developed a very helpful resource page about the appropriate East Africa Tourists Visa that is quite different from the Congo Tourists Visa.
