We went with a whole group to climb the volcano and the experience was great from beginning to end. Everything was well organized: pick up at the hostel, drive there, transport of equipment to the top, amazing food (which is a challenge knowing all the food and drinks need to be transported) and very friendly, interesting and supporting guide, great cook. The cabins are comfortable and protect well from the cold air up there. In short, amazing service and I fully recommend this travel agency!

Gisenyi and Goma ( DR of congo) are two cities stacked together it looks like there are included in one country. the culture here it is like mixed Rwandan and congolese culture. the tour is really unique, DR of Congo is not really trustworthy in terms of security so if you need to explore congo's culture i definetely hope that the tour can show you the image of Congolese lifestyle.

Honorio wanted to make a hiking tour with me and 3 of my friends. He asked for some money in advance (250000RFr) which we gave him as we already knew this process from different activities before. Unfortunately he just took our money and never came to our appointement. He didn´t answer our texts and calls. He vanished and after 2 days he contacted us and told us some bizzar stories about some family matters. Be aware, that he is a liar. His website turnt out to be fake, as we went to the RDB to get our money back. Because he isn´t registered officially you wouldn´t get your money back. Afterwards we wrote an review via Facebook too , where he responsed directly that we called him bad things. He called us racists, as an excuse to make the review worthless. So beaware

I can really recommend that company. I work in tourist market and I have a big experience in those topics. Christian and his friends are really honest and friendly guys. He showed us thing which normally we have never seen like: people live in village, how produce fruits, what they do in work, free time. We got a chance to see real Congo not just a tourtist part. They are very professional. There was a schedule with all plan what we do. During all tour we could feel safe all the time. They really care about it. If you go to Congo take Congo Local Guides and you get the best experience!!! It is really worth.

This was possibly the smoothest part of our 4 month trip in Africa. I was a little nervous about the safety of the trip but Adili answered all of our questions quickly and expertly and I felt very safe and 100% looked after at every juncture. Our experience with the Gorillas was incredible, and the lodge we stayed in was exceptional. The volcano trek was something I will never ever forget, a totally out of this world experience with fantastic guides and rangers. We are adventurous people and have been very lucky to visit some incredible places, but this was certainly one of my favourites. I would love to visit the DRC with Ubuntu Voyages again in the future.

We planned our own itinerary , so what was Most important for us was the guide. We interviewed quite a few former customers of different guides, and finally settled on Augustine. He got glowing recommendations from people who had been with him, and even so, he managed to exceed our expectations. He is immensely knowledgeable- not a single question we came up with, that he didn't know how to answer. He is totally honest and punctual. Whatever you agree on - is carried out to the letter. He is a great and careful driver. He is extremely friendly polite and nice. But the really impressive part is his concern for his clients wellbeing and pleasure. He takes enormous pains, with great interpersonal sensitivity, to see that you get maximum pleasure and experiences from your trip. We have been to numerous out of the way places, where we needed local guides/drivers, and have had some really good ones, but Augustine is in a league of his own.

I had a great day with Djabil on this tour to Nyungwe National Park. He makes sure all aspects of the trip are prepared for in advance and I had a thoughtful discussion with him throughout the day. Nyungwe park is amazing in its varied wildlife and plant life and the canopy provides an incredible view of the forest below. I’d highly recommend this tour!
