Best experience in Africa
5/5

Baraka is first of all my true friend.

Second of all, he was so kind, lovely and proffesional during my Congo experience.

He took care of everything so that I would not have to worry about a thing.

This experience was way beyond my expectations.

Thanks for unforgettable events in my life.

Barack is an amazing guy. He may be perfect if you are on a budget like I am.
5/5

My review sounds pretty much like the other ones. If you have time and sufficient money, you might as well stop thinking about it and do the trip. Barack will make it possible. He let me stay at his house. I went to the volcanoe and the Kahuzi-Biega National park with him. I was the only one doing gorilla trekking that day. I had my individual gorilla trek. They have student discounts, making it the cheapest place to see gorillas. Barack is a legend. He let me stay at his home. I even played a little bit with his adorable children.

Barack looks after you very well
5/5

We went on the Nyiragongo tour organised by Barack. Barack was very helpful and organised everything we needed. He was conscious of limiting our costs which was great as we are backpackers. He welcomed us into his home and drove us to the starting point himself. Thanks for looking after us Barack!

Absolutely perfect
5/5

Barak is the home welcoming person i have ever met! Such an incredible host. He so happily welcomed us in his home for actually a pretty long period of time, without asking for a thing, and all while he and his family were so nice and friendly to us. Barak is without doubt the best in my opinion to meet in all of rwanda.
Thank you for hosting us brother!

Congo Discovery Safari with Barack was the best tour I’ve ever done!
5/5

Barack was a wonderful tour guide. He made sure to have everything taken care of for us. We felt very safe like we were with a close friend when we were with him. He even let us stay at his home for free. Such a sweet, accommodating family. The Volcano hike and gorilla trek are well worth the money and you will be so glad you did them! Barack will create a tour to fit any budget and travel style and ensure you have an amazing time!
Thank you Barack!

It was excellent.
5/5

We were in the Congo two weeks ago and it was great. We watched lowland and mountain gorillas, as well as chimpanases. Everything was well organized and without any problems. You have a guide Serge was excellent, intelligent and always willing to help us with everything we needed. I highly recommend it, we will surely return here.

Reliable and honest
5/5

I booked a tour of the volcano in Virunga NP and had a great experience. The business is located in Gisenyi and Goma and they focus on DRC tours, although they have contacts with operators in East Africa. They were generally honest and reliable when it came to pricing, timings and visas. A relatively new operator that will continue to gain experience of running tours in this particularly complicated country to travel in.

Kongo
5/5

I've been backpacking in Africa for two months. I debated a lot if spending the money on these three days, and it was the most amazing three days of my trip. Volcano is the most amazing place I have ever been and the gorillas were also amazing. The instructors were also amazing and gave me a good feeling and made sure I was really happy and decided to invest in it. Thank you, Barak

Such a beautiful and unique experience
5/5

I had a beautiful experience trekking the Nyiragongo volcano with congo safari tours. Trekking the volcano has long been a dream of mine, so I was devasted when I found out the park had closed. As soon as I heard it was reopening, however, I contacted CDS to hear about the possibilities. Barack was extremely friendly, informative and responsive and helped ensure me as spot of the first group heading back up the mountain. I was naturally a bit worried about visa/the security situation, but CDS made me feel secure and safe the entire time. Barack and his family were wonderful before and after the tour and made me feel very much at home. Thank you again CDS! This dream wouldn't have come true without you. I will definitely be back soon!!

The best trip I’ve ever been on. I consider Ken (guide) a close friend now
5/5

Outstanding. I had a tour booked fir Virunga, we found out about one month away that Virunga wasn’t going to open in time for our trip. CDS made some last minute changes and we went to Kahuzi Biega instead.
