A genuine African experience
I have completed 2 days ago a 2 weeks trip with Kumbukumbu team across Rwanda, DR Congo and Uganda, for more than 2000km. An excellent and spotless organization despite of some last minute changes that had to be managed (my fault for not securing proper Burundi visa) and complicated environment in Congo (visas, Ebola alertness, etc). The teams I have met in all 3 countries were extremely professional, knowledgeable and focussed on the holistic customer experience, as well as on the relevant details of the trip. Above all, I would like to thank especially to Obed, who coordinated the whole adventure. Since the moment I have contacted him for this trip (almost 8 months ago) until the last minute of it, in Entebbe, his professionl behavior was spotless. On personal level he also offered to me a remarkable lesson of how a strong will, resilience, curiosity, humbleness and responsibility can turn any difficult start in life in a genuine inspirational success story!
Thank you Obed, thank you Kumbukumbu!

INCREDIBLE, BEST TOUR OF MY LIFE
Cant recommend kumbukumbu enough. My family of 7 went to africa with them including rwanda, kenya, and tanzania. It was the highlight of my life honestly. The best staff, so helpful, kind, and trustworthy. Made our experience A+. Great service, reliable, safe, and fun. I cant wait to use them again as soon as I can!

Tour of Volcanoes National Park and Gorilla Trekking (Rwanda)
This was one of the most amazing trips I have ever taken in my life. KumbuKumbu Tours did such a good job getting everything scheduled and organized for me. Obed, the owner, speaks english very well, which makes communication so easy. He is concerned with all the little details of the trip and makes sure that you as the traveler are very well taken care of. He is extremely knowledgeable of Rwanda and all that there is to do. There are so many options to choose from and he has hands on experience with all of them. I will go back again in 2019 and will be using KumbuKumbu Tours again. I cannot be happier with my experience with them. You won't be sorry by going with this company for your travel needs.

Best to explore East Africa with
After years of wanting to go to Africa and planning me and my twin sister have decided to go with Kumbu Kumbu and Obed
Obed helped me make a fully customized trip around the great lakes and offered the best price for us compared to other options we had
Our trip was a 2 weeks trip around the great lakes visiting Rwanda, Uganda and DR Congo. It included:
- great safaris at Akagera and Queen Elizabeth Park and Kazinga Channel in
Rwanda and Uganda
- Low land gorilla trek in Kahuzi Biega national park in the DR Congo
- Mountain Gorilla trek in Virunga national park
- Chimpanzee trek in Uganda
- A relaxing visit to the Masisi Territory
- Kigali city tour
- Canopy walk in Nyungwe National Park
With the flexibility and fully customization option of Kumbu Kumbu and Obed we managed to do it all and at a good price.
When planning the trip I wanted to see everything that the great lakes area offers and I also kept changing the plans quite often, Obed helped us do it all and with every change of plans gave us the best solutions and options.
After arriving in Rwanda and finally meeting him in person we found a very pleasant and friendly tour guide, which we now call a friend.
When in Africa you have the be ready for the unexpected and when we got stuck on our way back to Kigali from Safari because of the curfew every at night in Rwanda at that time, Obed did everything he could to find us an hotel on the way which meet the standards we've set with him before coming.
I really have nothing bad to say about Kumbu Kumbu and Obed, They made sure our trip was as good as possible, with good drivers, with big help in passing the hard borders between the Congo and Rwanda and Uganda and managing the visa for Congo for us.
We know that our next trip to East Africa is going to be again with KumbuKumbu tours with Obed
