BISSAU AUTO SERVICES
Read moreBased on the observation that there were no car rental agencies in Guinea-Bissau, and that public transport in the country was not very comfortable, Jucelene, a very friendly Franco-Bissau-Guinean, launched her adventure by setting up the first agency in the capital, in 2021. Her fleet, still small for the moment, is made up entirely of air-conditioned 4x4 vehicles, in excellent condition for navigating the country's dilapidated roads. Rentals can be made with or without a driver, subject to certain conditions. A great way to get around!

The must to visit the islands. The cabins are sober and functional, the food excellent. The attraction of L'Afrique Reine is to offer a panoramic vision of the archipelago: each night the boat regulates and, the next day, when it woke up, it already anchors a new island. The cruise is suitable for the fisherman (the fishing exits are organised by the day) and the walkers (excursions to islands, beaches and villages are organised daily).
