We had an amazing and perfectly organized tour through Rwanda, Uganda and DR Congo.
Before booking a tailor made tour with Congo discovery safaris we had contact by email with Barack and Ken. They were very helpful and we came to a very nice itinerary. Once we arrived we were picked up on the airport and from that moment unwards Barack, Ken and George, our tour guide, took great care of us. Everything was arranged and got to see all the highlight of this beautiful region without facing any problems. I would definitely recommend Congo Discovery safaris to all of you as they are very well-organised, helpful, fun and flexibel!

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!!!

Best honeymoon we could have asked for!
We had the best best trip with Ken, Jared and Barack. They were so warm and welcoming, it felt like we were on a big family vacation the whole time. Everything went perfectly, the food was delicious and the trips and views were outstanding. We started in Kampala and then visited Queen Elizabeth national park, then Kisoro, then gorillas and Mt Nyiragongo, in Virunga national park, and then last but not least, Kigali. It was incredible. Ken and Jared have such a wealth of knowledge and such great banter that it made even long drives a breeze. Barack met us at the Congo border and helped get our visas and navigate Congo very easily. The Nyiragongo hike was hard but definitely worth it for the views and the awesome lava (literally looked like a boiling pot of soup made of fire), and even the food at the top!! And our last day in Kigali was so powerful and then ended with such a lovely late lunch at the pork joint. We can't thank you enough for making the start to our honeymoon so so memorable!! Can't wait for our next trip back!

Amazing Trip with Congo Discovery Safaris!
Highly recommended. My wife and I went on an 8-day tour with Congo Discovery Safaris through Uganda, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo and had a wonderful time. It was our first trip to Africa and Ken, Barack and Jared made it very easy on us. Prior to the tour I emailed with Barack and asked a million questions, but he was always very responsive, kind and helpful.
We met Ken (Barack's brother) and Jared (the best driver I've ever seen) in Uganda and toured with them throughout the country and in Rwanda as well. They were both incredibly nice people and a lot of fun to be around. We saw tons of animals including lions, hippos, elephants, warthogs, hyenas, crocodiles, etc. We then went to Congo to meet Barack and go gorilla trekking and hike up Mt. Nyiragongo - both were incredible experiences that we will never forget.
I would highly recommend Congo Discovery Safaris as everyone we met was very nice and helpful and great tour guides. At no point during the trip did we feel like we weren't taken care of and we always felt completely safe and comfortable. An incredible time and I would love to do another trip with this group. Honestly, they were just great people in general.

Gorillas and Nyiragongo Volcano
I was in Uganda when i met Elizabeth who just came back from the Congo and told me all about the fantastic trip and Barack and how well everything was organized. I then contacted Barack and he organized everything in very, very short time (visa, Transport to congo, accomodation etc). Baracks brother helped me in Kampala Uganda with everything prior to departure. I am so glad I went to the Congo to see the Gorillas and did the Nyiragongo, both experiences where absolutely fantastic. The accomodation in the Congo provided was very good and in a safe area. One could walk even after dark to the next bar or the grocery shop. barack does not himself participate in the expeditions or drivings, but can always be reached, and as in my case, will take care of any Problem.
I can highly recomend Barack and his Company and if I ever go back to the Congo for a new adventure I will contact Barack first.
Keep up the spirits and the great Job you are doing.

Incredible life changing experience! Thank you Barack
What an amazing journey! The gorilla trekking was phenomenal! A surreal experience. Barack was extremely knowledgeable, generous and funny. Baracks energy and highly infectious smile was a pleasure to be around.
Everything went very smoothly.
I highly recommend Barack and his team. You will have the best time of your life!
I look forward to climb Nyiragongo Volcano with you next time Barack!
Thank you very much Barack, my brother! See you soon!

Good experiences!
Some people recommend this tour agent and via email I got in contact with Barack, the owner of Congo Discovery Safaris. I had so much questions and I every time got response very quickly. Thank you for this contact!
Before my trip I kept contact via WhatsApp and Barack picked me up at the busstation of Gisenyi. Together we crossed the border to Goma. There where a few mistakes in my application request for the visa of Congo. But Barack helped me to cross the border without any questions an problems. It only took 20 minutes!
The budget choice for accommodation in Goma was the right choice. Safe place to stay and nice accommodation with good food.
Although I thought Barack would be driving me to the gorilla tour and volcano tour, he arranged a safe driver called Richard. Later on the 3 day trip I have seen Barack briefly and I met him at the border to cross to Rwanda. Richard was a safe and good driver!
A well organized trip, safe, good choice of accommodation and as well Barack and his brother Kennedy kept in contact all times to make sure I was happy and safe during my stay.
Keep up the good work guys!
