Summarizing this remarkable journey in a review is no simple task. The founder of Ubuntu is undeniably an impressive individual. He maintains a remarkable sense of calm and composure while... read more displaying exceptional resourcefulness and intelligence. It's worth noting that he not only manages a tour company but also maintains strong philanthropic ties to his community - quite impressive.

Experiencing his country through his perspective was a defining aspect of the trip. However, what truly made the experience memorable was the kindness of the people we encountered and the unspoiled natural beauty that surrounded us.

From the initial trip planning to the day-to-day execution on the ground, the entire journey was flawlessly organized. I am a strong advocate for Ubuntu Voyages and would be happy to provide more details about my experience. I look forward to future trips back to the DRC, but first to other destinations with Ubuntu Voyages.

We had great guide who helped us with everything, the experience was uneblieveble we saw gorilla so close, it was unforgattable experiemce, definetely recommen, nice people and beuatiful nature!

a memorable trip to DRC - Thanks to Romy who was patient and worked with the budget I gave him. Romy sorted out all the border crossing arrangements during my solo trip to DRC. I felt... read more very safe the whole time. He loves his country and his proud to share it with the world. Keep up the good work.

Just do it!!! - We travelled from Rwanda to the Bwindi forest in Uganda with ease. Of course the gorillas are amazing but the other half of the experience is getting there. Romy and... read more Robert, our driver, were paramount in ensuring every little aspect of our trip was comfortable and to our liking. From our food, to accommodations requirements, to crossing the border, every detail was taken care of. I am certain that good words were even put in with the rangers so that our experience within the group visiting the gorillas was a focal point. Romy and Robert were honest, personable and good humored and that made conversations along the way fun and meaningful. Fun fact the name Ubuntu means "A philosophical approach to life that emphasizes social unity and generosity of spirit." This name holds true to Romy and Robert's character. I am grateful to have met these two men, and thankful for all the hard work they put into making our journey special.

Great adventure thanks to a great guide - Romy was our guide for our trip to Bukavu, Kahuzi-Biega and Goma. He was instrumental in coordinating our border crossing from Rusizi to Bukavu. Our gorilla trekking at... read more K-B was fantastic, thanks to the arrangement he made. We took his advice and sailed from Bukavu to Goma on the ferry. Throughout our trip, Romy made sure that everything went smoothly ... which is something that requires effort in the DRC. We recommend Romy highly and without reservation.

Life time experience! - Wow, I can’t even describe how satisfied I am with this service.

Once in a Lifetime Experience - Wow, Gorillatrecking was clearly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was absolutely amazing to do it in Congo. Romy was super cool and the organization was excellent.

Democratic Republic of Congo with Ubuntu Voyages: An Unforgettable Experience with a Fantastic Tour Agency - An Amazing Experience.
In early Feb. 2023 I arranged to take a one-week trip in the Democratic Republic of Congo organized by Ubuntu Voyages and guided by Romuald Adili, Ubuntu... read more Voyages's owner. The tour included a couple days in Kahuzi-Biega National Park where we did a lowland gorilla trek, hiked up Mt. Kahuzi and to a couple beautiful waterfalls, a trip to the Idjwi Islands on Lake Kivu, a tour of the city of Bukavu, a visit to an orphanage and a visit to a primate sanctuary.

From the moment I arrived at the Kemembe Airport on the Rwandan border until the moment I stepped back into Rwanda 8 days later, Romy (Romuald) took great care of me and the other person who joined us on our tour. Transport, food, lodging, guides specific to each area; Romy saw to it all, and whenever there arose an interest or need that was not on the original agenda, Romy was eager to accommodate.

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone more valuable and enjoyable to spend time with in DRC then Romy. He is knowledgeable about all things Congo, has a great sense of humor and is well connected. He is fluent in English, French and Swahili (at least). He works hard to please his clients and will happily customize a tour based on one's particular interests. He plays a lead role in establishing tourism in Eastern DRC, so he has a substantial personal stake in his client's wellbeing. The people and businesses he works with - drivers, guides, hotels, cooks- were all friendly, honest and interesting people.

When researching a visit to DRC, you've likely heard that in some regions security can be a concern. Far fewer tourists visit the nation on a whole (the second largest country in Africa) because of the reputation of these couple regions. On my travels in DRC, never once did I feel unsafe. And in my opinion, like other less touristed places in the world, travel in DRC is a more rich and unique experience because of this. People tend to be a little happier to see you and people work a little harder to make sure you are cared for, enjoying yourself and leave with a positive impression to share with the world.

The Democratic Republic of Congo has so much natural beauty, interesting culture and diverse wildlife to offer, it is mind boggling. It tops the list in so many categories of flora and fauna yet its potential remains largely untapped. This combination makes it among the rarest and most intriguing travel opportunities one can find on the planet right now. Do your research, decide for yourself, and if you do go, I heartily recommend that you reach out to Ubuntu Voyages first. I will never forget the time I spent in DRC and hope to return as soon as I can.

My dream come true - The wonderful experience, everything I imagined and more. My passenger and now my dear friend "Romuald Adili" as well as the driver and Roger Tasiviwe. They fulfilled my dream completely,... read more infinite thanks to the whole team.

8 days in DRC - I used Ubuntu Voyages to go to DRC for a week. At first I was supposed to be the only traveler but then another guy signed on. We... read more spent 8 days with Adili. We were in Bukavu and then Kahuzi Biega park for gorilla trekking and a hike to Mount Kahuzi. Lwiro sanctuary and waterfalls nearby. Went to Idjwi island and spend a night there (could have done more). It was so beautiful. And although my plan was to go to Goma for a night and go back to Rwanda from there, I decided to go to Bukavu for the Amani music festival.
I spent one month in East Africa and 8 days in DRC and I have to say that DRC was the highlight. It was the same for my travel companion even though we met only for DRC. Everything was amazing. Adili was the best guide anyone could ask for. We started out traveling with a guide and a couple of days later ended up traveling with a friend. Adili is very passionate about his country and the people. You can see how happy he was when we treated everyone kindly.
Adili made sure we were always taken care of. He made my arrangements to get to Bukavu from Rwanda and made sure he met me right at the border to walk me through. I don't speak French and managing the Congolese side would have been harder for me, but Adili made the process smooth. He also made sure to walk me back through the border so I had no issues and arranged the transport in Rwanda from the border. The communication even before the trip was great and he secured all the visas and gave me the information that I needed.
I felt safe the whole time. Even at the festival, Adili made sure he was always near us and that we were safe. It was the most unique experience of my life. We met some wonderful people along the way. Everywhere we stayed the people were most welcoming. I can't say enough good things. I have been telling everyone I can about DRC and how much fun it was.
It is unfortunate that DRC does not have that many tourists because people are worried about the security situation. DRC is full of beautiful places and great people. If you are considering going to DRC, contact Ubuntu Voyages, you will not be disappointed. I know I can't wait to go back and go to the west side and I will be contacting Ubuntu Voyages.

Great servis - Best of the best. We left with powerful experiences from not only the gorillas, but also from visiting local communities

Absolutely incredible tour. Our guide was brilliant, helpful, and understanding. We left with powerful experiences from not only the gorillas, but also from visiting local communities, an orphanage, a chimpanzee... read more sanctuary, and hot springs! I cannot articulate how appreciative I am for Ubuntu Voyages, they are the absolute best.

Love it!
Amazing guides took us on a safe and inclusive tour of Congo’s Kahuzi-Biega’s incredible jungle trek to see the lowland gorillas and surrounding areas. We left with... read more an experience of a lifetime that we will never forget. Thank you Ubuntu voyages!!

Best trip EVER - Absolutely incredible tour. Our guide was brilliant, helpful, and understanding. We left with powerful experiences from not only the gorillas, but also from visiting local communities, an orphanage, a chimpanzee... read more sanctuary, and hot springs! I cannot articulate how appreciative I am for Ubuntu Voyages, they are the absolute best.

Out of this world adventure in the DRC - 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... read more 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.

Great guide and amazing experience! - 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,... read more 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!

Awesome experience ! - We got the chance to climb Nyiragongo volcano with Ubuntu voyages and had an amazing experience.
The climb is a bit tough but is worth it. The view is incredible... read more and the lava lake is very impressive.
Ubuntu voyages planned everything well with a good lunch and great diner. We got explanations from our guide on our way up.
The accommodation is fine and Ubuntu provides good sleeping bags.
We would definitely recommend travelling with them !

Amazing Time and Incredible Service - To start, the opportunity to travel in the DRC and trek in Virunga is not for the faint of spirit, but if you can survive the discomfort of bad roads... read more and the ubiquity of armed soldiers, the opportunity cannot be missed.

The volcano is stunning...possibly the most noteworthy sight I've seen.

And in reference to the challenges of the DRC, the Ubuntu team took care of everything. From the Visa, to the border crossing to the trek, they communicated professionally and had me covered.

I couldn't recommend them or Virunga more.

We also did the trip to the low land gorillas. All in all a 5 days trip with Adili from Ubuntu voyages. It was perfectly organized and he provided us... read more with a lot of cultral and political informations. And the Congo and it's people are very friendly and if you speak french you will have a very good time. But it's not necessary. In the national parks they all speak english and Ubuntu voyages is always at your side.

The experience with the gorillas is beyond description. You have to do it once in your lifetime. And every visit helps them to survive.

Many thanks again to Adili from Ubuntu voyages for this unfogetable trip.

Marianne and Albert
