The best experience possible
Everything went smoothly since the moment I asked for a quote on the website. Barack responded almost immediately and his emails were always very sincere. I asked a lot of question about the tour and payment and everything was explained to my satisfaction... sometimes even before I managed to ask.
My trip to Akagera National Park started exactly on time, as we agreed. I was picked up at my hotel in Kigali and I enjoyed the drive to the park with a stop for breakfast at the nice lodge. My guides Lydia and Gerard (I am very sorry if I messed up your name) even taught me a few words in kinyarwanda, and I do remember them until today, so they have really done a wonderful job. The morning was rainy, but the weather was gradually improving and we managed to see a lot... lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, a lot of antilpes and monkeys. We crossed the whole park from the south to the north and back. I am really glad I also joined the boat trip where we have seen hippos, crocodiles and hundreds of bird species. We had a great conversation during the day and I have learned a lot about animals and Rwanda. On the way back to Kigali they were so nice, that we stop at couple of stores for me to buy coffee.
This was definitely one of the best experiences I ever had. Rwanda is really worth a visit and the people there are soooo nice. I strongly recommend Expedition Rwindi Voyage, the whole team is very professional and lovely.
Murakoze Lydia, Gerard, Barack and the whole team

Stole from us
We went on this tour with Ken and Barack in January. We sent them money for the Gorilla Deposits in advance and when we arrived they said the government had stolen our money. They story didn't add up, and they promised they would pay us back, but in the meantime we had to buy new permits. Having traveled so far, what else could we do?
In the end, they stole our deposit. I highly recommend finding a different operator with a longer history of reviews.
The gorilla trekking itself was incredible.
Jacqueline who organized our trekking and Barrack were both super efficient and friendly.
The gorilla trekking was an unusual an unforgettable experience. The walk has some rough patches so come prepared with good boots and protective clothing. But the likelhood of finding gorillas with a good ranger is high and if you are lucky with the weather it is definitely worth the cost

Unforgettable experience
After two weeks spent in Africa we honestly have to say that it was the best experience in our whole lives. With Barak everything was possible, he is so helpful and kind, our trip was problem free and at last but not least we had so much fun together! 😊 Thank you for everything, hope to see you again one day 😊

Enthusiastic and really helpful!
I first met Barack when he picked me up from the bus station in Kigali. From the very beginning, he showed genuine care and asked if I had any plans or needed assistance in Rwanda. When I shared my travel itinerary, Barack immediately proved invaluable, arranging our permits and helping my friend and me find budget-friendly accommodations near Volcanoes National Park. He even secured a driver for the rest of our trip.
When we returned to Kigali, Barack went above and beyond once again, helping me obtain a permit to see gorillas in Uganda. He connected me with his local contacts, ensuring everything was well-organized. Throughout the trip, Barack consistently offered helpful advice, valuable information, and ensured we got the best deals wherever we went.
I wholeheartedly recommend Barack to anyone in need of a trustworthy and resourceful guide. His dedication made our journey truly seamless!

Fantastic Primate Tours!
I participated in two amazing primate tours with Expedition Rwindi Voyage, both guided by Barack. First, I did a 1-day gorilla trek at Volcanoes national park. We had a great time; Barack facilitated our drive from Kigali, our hotel stay near Volcanoes, and everything to do with the trek on the day. We were in awe with how close we were to the gorilla family.
Next, I did a 1-day chimpanzee trek in Nyungwe forest. Again, Barack facilitated the drive to and from Kigali, the hotel stay near Nyungwe, and everything to do with the trek on the day. We were very lucky and saw multiple chimpanzees including a baby - I heard it is not as "guaranteed" to see chimpanzees as it is to see the gorillas.
I felt very safe and welcome with Barack. If I'm lucky, I'll come back to Rwanda to do a longer trip!

Fun and great value for money
We met Barack, our first guide, at a hostel in Kigali. He was very helpful driving us to Volcanoes National Park, as well as arranging permits and finding good yet budget-friendly accommodation. In addition, he was very funny and willing to answer all of our questions. For the remainder of our trip we drove with Patrick, who was also a very friendly and reliable driver, even though he only just joined the tour company. Overall they offered honest information and great value for money, so I would highly recommend booking with them!

Friendly and helpful
I met Barack, guide at this company, in a guest house in Kigali and although I did not make a tour (I was just in transit for 2 days), he was very helpful helping me to move in Kigali with his car. If my family comes to visit (I live in DRC), I will recommend them to have a tour with him.

absolute satisfaction, our guide was communicative, funny and we felt good
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the Expedition Rwindi Voyage and it was truly an unforgettable adventure. From start to finish, the team at Expedition Rwindi Voyage went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the trip was well-planned and executed.
The guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic, providing us with valuable insights into the local culture and wildlife. The accommodations were comfortable and clean, and the food was delicious and plentiful.
One of the highlights of the trip was encountering the majestic wildlife in their natural habitats. From seeing gorillas up close to witnessing breathtaking sunsets over the savannah, every moment was truly magical.
I highly recommend Expedition Rwindi Voyage to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience. Thank you to the entire team for an incredible journey that I will never forget.
