Customer Reviews
"
Working with Impact Route relocation service was one of the best decisions we made during our move from the United States to Rwanda. From the very beginning, weeks before our departure, he supported us with care, consistency, and a deep understanding of what it takes to transition smoothly. We met with him twice a week for Kinyarwanda and cultural awareness lessons, which helped us prepare mentally, emotionally, and culturally for life in a new country. When we arrived, Justin was awaiting our arrival at the airport. Immediately, he began helping us get settled, from setting up our phones and finding a home, to handling the kinds of logistical details that would’ve been stressful, expensive, and overwhelming if we had tried to manage them alone. What could have been a difficult transition became a grounded, supported experience because of Justin’s presence and guidance. Over time, Justin has become more than a transition specialist, he’s become like family. Our children love him, we trust him deeply, and we believe in the work he’s doing. It is so needed. If you’re considering a move to Rwanda, we wholeheartedly recommend Justin. His support made all the difference for our family, and we’re incredibly grateful.

Justin's cultural awareness training and language sessions have provided me with invaluable insight into Rwanda, its people and its culture. His sensitive approach to the debrief following our visit to the Genocide Memorial site was much appreciated. Justin is an excellent language teacher, he devises lessons that are relevant, engaging and fun! I now feel confident to greet people appropriately and start a basic conversation, all of which is helping me to settle into my life here in Rwanda. Murakoze cyane Justin!

I highly recommend Impact Route's for any newcomer to Rwanda. Justin organised a 1,5 hour one-on-one session about Rwandan culture for me. The session was well structured and focused on the issues relevant for expats. Justin is very good at explaining Rwanda and understands what is relevant for a newcomer.
