Built for laterite
roads and river mud.
One custom Wrangler Unlimited — winch, roof light bar, mud terrain tyres, four doors — wrapped safety-lime so you can spot it from the next ridge. Available for hire in Bujumbura or as your guide up-country.
The Wrangler has carried honeymooners to their reception, film crews up Mount Heha, and Saturday convoys down to Saga Beach. Hire it self-drive, take it with one of our drivers, or fold it into a multi-day itinerary — the specs below stay the same either way.
