Fantastic trip and superb help and organization from Barak
A long held dream to climb mt. Nyiragongo came true thanks to the fantastic assistance and services of Barak at Congo discover safaris! I have traveled with other safaris companies in Uganda and Tanzania, but Barak and his crew surpass the rest. Barak is extremely flexible and supportive and very punctual. In addition he and the rest are incredibly friendly and willing to go out of their way to help you arrange your trip and have the best possible experience. I look forward to traveling more in the DRC with Barak and highly recommend Congo discover safaris to anyone planning a trip to beautiful Goma and DRC! You will have a wonderful time!

DRC with amazing company!
I travelled alone from Rwanda to DRC to Uganda for three weeks.
I went with my guide (barack) and I was happy that I did that! it was worth the peace of mind to travel with a local, get picked up and having a very good company!
I went with barack from kigali to DRC (Nyiragongovolcano), to Kabale Uganda.
I planed these three days in advanced from Holland with barack himself.
After a really nice and cosy ride to gisenyi by night, barack dropt me at the hostel. A arranged it by my self, but barack suggested it for the same price as hostelworld.
the next morning we went to DRC and to the nyiragongo volcano. that night I was nerves about drc, but it was super safe at that moment. barack knows the people, the roads and off course how everything works at the border. so it was a good and nice feeling with him.
the nyiragongo volcano was amazing!!! one of the best things i have ever seen in the world!! We were only with 5 tourist to do the trip and like 8 people staff (rangers, cooks, porters). i really recommend everybody to do this trip and sleep one night on top of this volcano.
After the volcano I went with Barack to Goma, get a small ride through the city and getting to Kabale Uganda.
I got Barack his contact from the volunteers organization Big Beyond by Facebook (they recommend him).
They said that he was a really trustable and funny guy. And that was totally true!!!
I arranged everything from home and spoke about the price.
Barack is starting his own (small) company with fair prices! He is not asking more than if you don't use a guide and asking less than the big companies on internet.
I really recommend everybody to contact Barack if you would like to have a nice and funny guide for everything in Goma District!!
For my, everything was worth it with amazing company!!

unique experience... thank you Barack!
I had a great time in Congo doing the vulcano as well as the gorilla trekking. I can not even say what was more beautiful. Both were simply impressive and well organized. Barack took care of the visa, picked me up from the border, made sure i had a nice place to stay and few good days in Congo. He took me out for lunch in a local restaurant as well as for some beer at night to show me the congolese-way-of-live. Thank you very much. I highly recommend him as a guide

Exciting experience with a flexible and friendly guide, Barack.
Everything we expected and more. Seeing the volcano is a must and doing it with someone as friendly and enthusiastic as Barack made it so much more exciting

Unforgetable Nyiragongo
Thanks to Congo Discovery Safaris and Barack in person my long-held dream to climb Mt. Nyiragongo came true - and it was just fantastic. The hike with very friendly and good english speaking guides takes you within a few hours to different vegetation zones and a breathtaking landscape. Even if the way is steep: the first look around at the summit will make you forget every effort and the overnight stay surely is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The organization was perfect and everything was taken care of - beautiful accomodation in Gisenyi (Discover Rwanda), food shopping for the hike, trouble-free border crossing and visa, permit, transport to/from Congo. Just ask Barack and you will get your perfect personal programm!

Amazing Organization and Experience
Our trip with Congo Discovery Safaris to see the mountain Groillas in the DRC was definitely worth it. The organization of the logistics was very thought through and they were able to get our Visas for the Congo in a very short time. Unfortunately they forgot to tell us beforehand that we need our yellow fever vaccination beforehand, but Barack was very helpful with the process at the border. He is a great guide, very friendly and funny and we enjoyed the trip with him a lot. He always catered to our requests. I would definitely go on a trip with them again.
Amazing!

Congo experience and getting there
Amazing experience in Congo, The Vulcanic crater was surreal, especially in the night, the vulcanic activity lightning up the skies as a huge lightbulb. We had to travel in a big group though, so its something you have to like. And, if youre healthy and if your condition is ok, you can carry your own bag by yourself so dont let yourself being fooled into something different.
Also it was super sweet to see the mountain Gorillas. I liked the way the rangers approached them, taking care that we didnt contaminate them and letting us witness them from real close and at the same time making sure both and our security were provided by making sure interaction between the human and gorillas was minimal, taking care of the future of Gorillas and tourism, hopefully protecting a safe future for the animals.
I didnt like how little information discovery safari offered though about the situation in Congo, prices, how things are organised, where to sleep etcetera.
Fortunately half by accident I met Barack Nari who works for this company, who made it all easy, he gave me explanation and took care of all the shitty parts, as transport to the national parks, information about cheap places, arranging visa in one day. Very trustworthy nice guy. So Id definetely recomend Barack Nari in this.
