Laico Umubano hotel has been confirmed as a co-sponsor for KCB Rwanda Mountain Gorilla Rally scheduled for September 17-19.

The Rwanda Automobile Club (RAC) president Dismus Kayibanda told Times Sport yesterday that Laico Umubano Hotel and Resort have confirmed their partnership with the local rally.

"We have come to an agreement and Laico Umubano hotel will provide accommodation to rally drivers, their co-pilots and officials.

"This hotel will also be the rally’s headquarter which will be providing general information throughout the three-day event,” Kayibanda said.

Kayibanda lauded Laico Umubano hotel’s support to this year’s event and urged other corporate companies to come on board.

Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) is the main sponsor of this year’s Rwanda Mountain Gorilla rally to a tune of $50,000 (about Frw.28.8 million).

The Rwanda Mountain Gorilla rally is third and final round of the Kenya Commercial Bank East Africa Rally Challenge which started with the KCB Safari rally last month and was followed by the KCB Uganda Pearly rally held last weekend in Kampala.
