Great organizer/transport for Goma safari Nyiragongo/gorillas
4/5

Barack is very helpful for executing a safari trip in the Goma area. I was able to communicate with him via WhatsApp from Kigali, RW, planning out dates, details, and costs. He personally picked me up from the border, helped me through customs, and took me to the hotel. Transport was in a sturdy 4x4, had no problems. He also knows the officials at the Virunga park office which helps.
Although it would have been helpful if the driver spoke better English (to/from park), he was able to direct me to a music shop where I could find Congolese tunes :)

Very good experience
5/5

Great experience at a quite affordable price. They pick you up at the border. They are very responsible and help you with everything, from equipment rent to hotel booking. I strongly recommend to count with them!

Niyragongo Volcano- Breathtaking
5/5

I had a great time in Congo, thanks to Barack. He made sure everything was taken care of and his light spirit added a great start to the journey-from taking care of the visa, picking me up from the border, making sure i had a good place to stay and for making Congo feel like home!
I highly recommend him as a guide!

Congo Doscovery Safari / Barack - Best option out there
5/5

Barack and Congo Discovery Safari are hands down the best option for a tour in the Congo. On short notice, Barack was able to get us VISAs to the DRC, organized our tours, met us in Rwanda, assisted with border crossings both into and out of the DRC, and spent an afternoon taking us on a walking tour and having a couple of beers in Goma. Very knowledgeable, on time for everything, and an overall great guy. Would definitely use him again. Three recommendations - (1) if you will be staying in Goma overnight, discuss with Barack various options for hotels and what each price range gets you - we should have spent a little bit more, (2) while you can get US$ out of an ATM in Goma, you cannot get small bills. There will be numerous people to tip during the trip, and we wish we'd brought more small ($1 and $5) bills with us, and (3) take advantage of the amazing fruit, for example we binged on passion fruit... about five cents there versus ~$3 each at home.

barack is the best guide!
5/5

We were a group of 3 backpackers that came to a combined safari tour of niragongo volcano and gorilla tracking. Barack took very good care of us and we felt safe in his hands. He is a nice person and a pro in what he does so you're covered. He met our needs and knew to be flexible also, I've been to over 10 safries in Africa and Barack was by far my best guide and friend! You should definitely do your tour through Barack!
