Congo Discovery Safari with Barack was the best tour I’ve ever done!
Barack was a wonderful tour guide. He made sure to have everything taken care of for us. We felt very safe like we were with a close friend when we were with him. He even let us stay at his home for free. Such a sweet, accommodating family. The Volcano hike and gorilla trek are well worth the money and you will be so glad you did them! Barack will create a tour to fit any budget and travel style and ensure you have an amazing time!
Thank you Barack!

It was excellent.
We were in the Congo two weeks ago and it was great. We watched lowland and mountain gorillas, as well as chimpanases. Everything was well organized and without any problems. You have a guide Serge was excellent, intelligent and always willing to help us with everything we needed. I highly recommend it, we will surely return here.

Reliable and honest
I booked a tour of the volcano in Virunga NP and had a great experience. The business is located in Gisenyi and Goma and they focus on DRC tours, although they have contacts with operators in East Africa. They were generally honest and reliable when it came to pricing, timings and visas. A relatively new operator that will continue to gain experience of running tours in this particularly complicated country to travel in.

I've been backpacking in Africa for two months. I debated a lot if spending the money on these three days, and it was the most amazing three days of my trip. Volcano is the most amazing place I have ever been and the gorillas were also amazing. The instructors were also amazing and gave me a good feeling and made sure I was really happy and decided to invest in it. Thank you, Barak

Such a beautiful and unique experience
I had a beautiful experience trekking the Nyiragongo volcano with congo safari tours. Trekking the volcano has long been a dream of mine, so I was devasted when I found out the park had closed. As soon as I heard it was reopening, however, I contacted CDS to hear about the possibilities. Barack was extremely friendly, informative and responsive and helped ensure me as spot of the first group heading back up the mountain. I was naturally a bit worried about visa/the security situation, but CDS made me feel secure and safe the entire time. Barack and his family were wonderful before and after the tour and made me feel very much at home. Thank you again CDS! This dream wouldn't have come true without you. I will definitely be back soon!!

The best trip I’ve ever been on. I consider Ken (guide) a close friend now
Outstanding. I had a tour booked fir Virunga, we found out about one month away that Virunga wasn’t going to open in time for our trip. CDS made some last minute changes and we went to Kahuzi Biega instead.

The best Experience!
Congo Discovery Safaris helped me fine tune my itinerary so it would suit me down to the very last detail. I had an amazing adventure in Rwanda, DRC and Uganda and did many things including gorilla tracking in Congo and a climb of Mont Bisoke in Rwanda.
I was a bit concerned before going about safety and visa etc but I was helped with all of those issues and everything went very smooth. even when I wanted to swap a hotel for another, it was not a problem. Barack (Company chief) and his team are honest, knowledgable and passionate about their jobs and we had many laughs together on this trip as well as me learning a lot about the this part of Africa.

Great Celebration
I just returned from the 11 Day Uganda/Rwanda/DRC trip with Congo Discovery Safaris and I had a wonderful time. Barack and his brother Ken took very good care of me during this trip. Vincent was my driver throughout Uganda and he is extremely knowledgeable about Ugandan and other African countries’ history and about nature. Barack took over as my driver throughout Rwanda. I felt pretty lucky that I was able to see chimpanzees, gorillas, different bird types and lots of monkeys. I have previously been on a safari in Africa but seeing the primates up close was an incredible experience. We also spent lots of time visiting the villages and meeting local people. The village children were just as amazed at seeing a foreigner as I was with them. My tour was detoured from the DRC due to the closing of Virunga park but Ken and Barack were able to fill in the gaps at the last moment. If ever in this part of the world again, I will definitely purchase a tour from Congo Discovery Safaris.

Excellent
Congo Discovery were very flexible when organising thetrip and sending us all the information we needed on a timely manner. All the
Hotels were very nice and very well organised. The best part was of our Gorillas
Trekking in Kahuzi Biega National Park and Barack our driver guide, he was very
knowledgeable and always explained so many things about Gorillas and the
culture in Congo. It was our first time to Africa, a must see destination! We had an
amazing experience and would definitely recommend Congo Discovery Safaris to
our friends and family.

INCREDIBLE SAFARI
We decided to book a safari in Uganda and Rwanda via Congo Discovery, we were offered a discount and all bookings including flights were taken care of. We had an incredible 11 days and this was our best holiday ever, with memories to cherish for a lifetime. I have never taken so many photos in my life. Great service and will recommend to family and friends.
Thanks.
