He goes the extra mile
Such an amazing experience. David our tour guide was great and showed us some great spots. We managed to see giraffes, elephants, antelopes, rhinos, warthogs, crocodiles, hippopotamus, many beautiful birds and many more animals. The ride across the country side of rwanda is very touching. The Sunrise and sunset are beautiful. All in all it's an incredible day. And they take great care of us. 🦬🦓🐐🐘🦒🦏🐊🐒

Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Experience with Expedition Rwindi
Our gorilla tour with Expedition Rwindi was absolutely unforgettable. We were lucky to have Barack and Laban as our tour operators and drivers — both incredibly professional, attentive, and warm. They made sure every part of the journey was smooth, safe, and deeply enriching.
The highlight of the trip, of course, was the gorilla trek itself. We spent 75 magical minutes with a family of nine gorillas, including three silverbacks and two playful youngsters. Watching them eat, interact, and play in their natural habitat was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience — humbling, awe-inspiring, and deeply moving. It felt like being invited into their world, even if just briefly, and it’s something we’ll never forget.
Barack and Laban prepared us so well for the trek and shared so much valuable knowledge along the way. Their passion for conservation and respect for the gorillas really stood out.
On our return journey, Laban took us for a lovely lunch in the Ugandan town of Kisoro — a thoughtful and relaxing stop that showed how much they cared about making the whole experience memorable beyond the trek itself.
Expedition Rwindi managed every detail with care — from permits and logistics to transport. We couldn’t have asked for a better team or a more meaningful adventure.
If you're considering a gorilla trek, we highly recommend Expedition Rwindi — and if you get Barack and Laban, you’re in the best hands possible.

Professional, caring and attentive
The tour was hugely exceeding all my expectations, combining the lively atmosphere in the city and rural beauty of countryside - however was the Akagera visit such a privilege, to witness greatness of wildlife from the comfortable van !

Best guide and tour operator there is!
Perfect trip, all satisfying and the guide could not be better! Been traveling with this company several years in a row and can not express how much I enjoy having Barack (tour guide) with us. He does the little extra every single time!

Professional and provided a wonderful experience
We engaged Rwindi Voyage for our gorilla trekking at Mgahinga, and we were assigned to Laban. Our communication started on WhatsApp and was smooth throughout. When we finally met Laban, he turned out to be such a wonderful person and accommodated all our requests—even showing us the community school where he teaches and arranging a coffee experience because he noticed how much our group enjoys coffee during the trip.
We also met Baraka, who was the first person I communicated with before being assigned to Laban; he was also very nice to deal with and a very polite person. Both of them personally drove us back from Uganda to Rwanda and saw us off at the airport.
The gorilla trekking experience itself was wonderful—we were lucky and managed to see the gorilla family within an hour of trekking. Apparently, we are the first Malaysian group to do this trek at Mgahinga National Park. We truly enjoyed our time with the gorillas.
Overall, it was a great experience with them—truly great people.

Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Experience with Expedition Rwindi Voyage!
Our recent gorilla trekking tour with Expedition Rwindi Voyage was nothing short of extraordinary! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, professional, and deeply memorable.
A huge shoutout to our incredible guide and driver, Baraka, who truly made the trip exceptional. Baraka was not only highly knowledgeable about the region, wildlife, and local culture, but also warm, patient, and attentive throughout.
The trek itself was awe-inspiring—coming face-to-face with a gorilla family in their natural habitat is a life-changing experience. The logistics were perfectly arranged, and the team ensured we were well-prepared, comfortable, and respectful of the environment and the animals.
If you’re considering gorilla trekking in the region, don’t hesitate to book with Expedition Rwindi Voyage. And if you’re lucky enough to have Baraka as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable adventure. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

We even spontaneously rescheduled our tour within the NP after request

Wonderful operator thats always on time.
Had a great experience with Baraka as our driver and he always had enough water and snacks. He was always 15 minutes early and would highly reccomend him and Expedition Rwindi Voyage. We were only there for a short amount of time and was very impressed with the tour company, Rwanda as a very clean and productive country and the once in a life time trek to see the endangered mountain gorillas. Amazing coffee too.
