We had an amazing experience visiting virunga!
The service was exceptional, everything was very organized and ticked like a clock. We did both gorilla tracking and climbing nyiragongo. Total of 3 days and came back to Rwanda.
We highly recommend doing this with them.

Wonderful time in the DRC!
For me travelling to the DRC and seeing the gorillas and Mt. Nyiragongo has always been a dream. Last month this dream finally came true...
Both experiences are absolutely incredible and very humbling. I would recommend this trip to everyone!
I was extremely happy with Barack and the team. As you can imagine there were many questions and changes before hand (some even last minute) which he handled perfectly. The organisation was perfect and on top he is also a really great guy! My driver was Fidel who I can absolutely recommend. He was with me for the entire trip and a lot of fun!

Great experience
Barak and his team are just amazing. Logistics of a journey like this were complex but very well managed. Really professional staff to deal with every aspect. In our case, car broke down coming from Virunga to Goma (those things happen) but they solved it in a heartbeat so we really tested what they are made of, and those guys are for real. The journey was completely wonderful. We visited gorillas in Virunga. The park rangers have everything controlled and make a great job taking care of those magnificent creatures. The following day we took a boat trip to Bukavu (from Goma). The following day we went to visit the gorillas in the Kahuzi-Biega National Park and after that, we came back to Kigali (Rwanda) in a very nice trip. Totally recommendable.

Always there, whatever the needs are
We were well assisted from
the very beginning at the border till very end of the trip. Barack was very helpful, he managed to find us the rain coat as it was the middle
of heavy rain season. Communication was very good via whatsapp and in general, the trip was perfect (we were soaking wet after the trekking, but the experience nce will stay in us forever!!). It is very sadthat mountain gorillas are so endangered, they are reapecrful and peaceful creatures. The time we spent watching them
was just one of the best moments of all our africa travels

Great Experience, Great Price!
Congo Discovery delivered a customized tour of high quality at a price significantly cheaper than competitors. ‘Luxury’ level accommodation in Virunga and Bukavu was to an execellent standard. Communication with Barack and Ken was quick and easy, always providing answers when asked. Ground transport was to good standard with drivers George and Barack knowledgeable and friendly. The route of the tour did change last minute due to slow processing of Congo visa however, Barack and Ken managed this well with all activities and accommodation delivered as planned! We booked 6 day Gorilla and Nyiragongo volcano trek. Both activities were an amazing experience and thoroughly recommend a visit to the Congo! Barack ensured we were safe and happy every step of the tour. He was always happy to show us other local sites and restaurants.
All staff were very friendly. Excellent value. Amazing experience! I would definitely use Congo Discovery Safaris again!

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
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!!

Amazing!!!
Congo discovery safaris is one of the best tour agencies for DRC adventures. (volcano / gorillas)
The manager-Barak, will take extra special care of you and your group to make sure you are happy, safe, and smiling during your entire adventure. No need for worries... they will take care of your visa, lead you through the spectacular volcano, and guide you to the amazing gorillas.
Transportation was a breeze. Bakar will pick you up from the gorgeous guesthouse in Giseny, then accompany you across the border to the Congo. He will take care of all your transportaion and accommodations while providing excellent service.
As an added bonus, Bakar will take anyone who may be interested on a scenic city tour through Goma. He is a wonderful tour guide!!!
In addition to handling all of your needs, Barak is very reliable and knowledgable, with answers to every question you will have.
You will not regret your choice to discover the Congo with him. Thank you Barak for an amazing experience and for such a wonderful adventure.
I HIGHLY recommend you and your services!!! Thank you!!!
