Travelling through Africa
I met Barack whilst touring through the amazing countries of Africa. I don't know what we would have done without him particularly at the border crossings. He made it look so effortless and handled it all with ease. He was so friendly and polite and always had a smile on his face. It was obvious he loves his job and seeing tourists discover his beautiful homeland. He took us to markets and restaurants and always looked after us. Thank you Barack, I hope to see you again soon!
just passing through town
Top of my bucket list was to see the gorillas in the Congo. It was a dream come true and to make travelling easier we were introduced to Barak who helped us with our visas and get us across the borders with no trouble. He also took myself and my girlfriends to a local market to go shopping which i give him a lot of credit for too. He not only stayed sane, he managed to get us some bargains. We spent a few days with Barak and I found him to be kind, happy, funny and helpful, all with a constant smile which is so nice to be around. I recommend him to anyone travelling to this area!!

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.

Great organizer/transport for Goma safari Nyiragongo/gorillas
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 :)

Vulcanoe-/Gorillatrekking
Had an amazing time in the DRC. The vulcanoe hike was just amazing. The best experience I’ve ever had. The gorilla Trecking in Kahuzi Biega was also beautiful. You have a lot of time to really enjoy the tours. In between that everything worked very smooth and perfectly organized (transports, sleeping). Barrack is a super nice and funny guy and can tell you a lot about DRC. We spent some time together after the vulcanoehike eating local food, after that we went for a walk to lake Kivu. Beside that I always felt safe. Highly recommend!

Nyiragongo Volcano 2-Day Trek
Barak is one of the best hosts you can ask for in the Congo. He is responsive and knowledgeable and always available for any doubts you may have. He also puts on excellent tours and can hook it up with visas (he is a pro). Couldn’t recommend him enough

Rwanda, best tour ever...
Thank you dear Barak for such a wonderfull tour all over Rwanda and Congo.
Thanks to you we had the pleasure to experiance the butifull nature and people of Rwanda. I'm sure that without your knowledge and great attitude and patience our trip would not have been such a success.
Your luxary 4x4 car was very comfortable and your driving skills are excellent.
We hope to see you when we shall come to visit.

Congo is a fantastic country to travel! Everything worked out well organized from lovely people!
We did a very interesting city tour in Goma and the World largest Lava Lake at Nyiragongo Vulcano! Very good organization! Everything was done professional! It’s a unique experience!
