An intrepid adventure with Obed
My son surprised me with Kumbukumbu tour of DR Congo.
Our sincere gratitude to Obed for not only guiding us on this amazing adventure, but challenging our thoughts and senses - mentally and physically- to come out of DR Congo with enlightened appreciation of this country of extremes.
We arrived in Kigali Rwanda 3 days before Obed picked us up for this action-packed 9 day tour highlighting the Gorilla Trek at Kahuzi-Biéga National Park.
Our experiences were extreme from the scenic motorbike ride around Idjwi Island where we visited a local school, to the chaotic streets of Goma, to the exquisite cuisine and serenity of glamping on Lake Kivu, Tchegera (private) Island.
But the most unexpected highlight was the beautiful children of a Masisi village who battered my first world view that with so little in their lives, they can express such happiness.
At all times Obed anticipated our specific needs with the flexibility of an expert guide.
His exceptional skill is if something does not work, there’s always a plan B.

INCREDIBLE, BEST TOUR OF MY LIFE
Cant recommend kumbukumbu enough. My family of 7 went to africa with them including rwanda, kenya, and tanzania. It was the highlight of my life honestly. The best staff, so helpful, kind, and trustworthy. Made our experience A+. Great service, reliable, safe, and fun. I cant wait to use them again as soon as I can!

Great trip in the DRC, Rwanda and Burundi
Awesome trip to the DRC, Rwanda and Burundi. It was well organised, packing in so many great experiences in a short time. Rachael and the local guides were excellent, helping maximise the experience and minimise the inevitable challenges in a fascinating region. Many thanks for the great memories!

Crazy but relaxed guy who takes care of his clients.
Together with Obed we travelled through the heart of DRC: from Kinshasa to Kisangani which took us 3 weeks. If you embark on such a journey, you need to prepare to expect the unexpected. At first there were some miscommunications with arranging the date when we start the travel but Obed behaved responsibly - once we’ve met in Kinshasa, he made sure we get the best experience. He organized for us transportation, meals, visa extension and translated not only the languages of Lingala, Swahili and French to English but also every day he explained the cultural contexts which, in our case, were very important as my intention was to write a novel about our journey. Obed is a reliable person. I’d definitely travel with him again. Also, he’s cool. It’s a type of person who you’d like to spend time with. I’ve also met his other team members and all I could see was profesionalism which is not a common view in such a complicated but beautiful country as DRC. All in all, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kumbukumbu Tours!
