Visiting KAHUZI national park and LWIRO PRIMATE SANCTUARY which is a perfect combo in one day.With Local guide Daniel, let us enjoy the local culture and feel relax.I do highly recommended Congo local guide as a door to visit DRCongo!我們有一個美好的旅程在DRC剛果🇨🇩,在丹尼爾導遊與Christian 的安排帶領下,我們前往卡湖茲國家公園看剛果僅有的低地銀背大猩猩,在同一天又到黑猩猩保護園區看黑猩猩,這是完美的安排,並且住在湖景旅館。強烈推薦Congo local guide作為進入剛果的在地旅行社Posted on Efendi EVerified A short visit to Kinshasa My brother and I took a trip. In the afternoon, we took a motorboat across the Congo River from Brazzaville and arrived in Kinshasa. There they were waiting for us and helped us through the formalities and carried our luggage. In the afternoon we visited the main sights of the city. The next morning we rushed to the Lola ya Bonobo Sanctuary. It was very interesting to see the amazing work they do to protect these animals, which are similar to chimpanzees but smarter than chimpanzees. Back in town we visited the Martyrs' Stadium and the National Museum. Then we packed up and just caught our flight. Leave plenty of time to get to the airport. Kinshasa has unbelievable traffic jams. It took 3 hours to cover the 25 km from the hub. Our guide in Kishnhasa Emmanuel was great. The vehicle we travelled in was clean and comfortable and the driver was always safe and very nice.Posted on Iam TVerified 5 star It was a pleasure traveling with Congo Local Guides.They did a great job helping me from visa and crossing the border into Bukavu to boat trip across the lake Kivu and one night stay in Goma.I'd like to give a credit to everyone but especially Christian, who is such a great organiser understands what tourists need and respectful. I had a problem in Rwanda so i had to change the schedule but he kindly accepted and rescheduled accordingly in timely manner without a hassle.I would highly recommend Congo Local Guide.Posted on Joel CVerified Best tourism agency in congo The DR Congo is a country which is both beautiful and intense. With this intensity comes the possibility of danger and unpredictability. However, under the guidance of Christian and the team at congo local guides my safety was never an issue. Christian is a true professional and made my safety while travelling around DRC his number one priority. Even through unpredictable and at times trying circumstances in a remote region of central congo, Christian, through his deep knowledge of the country and commitment to his role as a coordinator managed to navigate me safely and with professionalism. During my visit to Congo I travelled to Bukavu, Goma and Kisangani and was seamlessly assisted by multiple guides. From the moment i entered DRC I was greeted by Daniel, who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome within the country and was a great introduction to the team at congo local guides. I maintained continual communication with Christian throughout the trip who was always ready to respond and answer any questions I might have as well as to help facilitate a smooth transition through the carefully thought out and well constructed itinerary. After I arrived in Goma I met with Christian who again made me feel very welcome as a tourist in Congo, even inviting me to share a dinner at his house with his family. Christian is an outstanding individual and Congo is very lucky to have him. I highly recommend Congo Local Guides as the number one tourism agency in Congo, my time in DRC would have been nothing without their help. I look forward to coming back and meeting with everyone again :)Posted on Harald MVerified Kinshasa city tour - you should have seen it We had 6 days with Christian's team in Kinshasa. They really did their best to show us every facette of one of the biggest town of the world, rapidly growing in one of the still less developed countries. Without locals as a european foreigner you are definately lost......Posted on Sonia SVerified Excellent guide for walking tour I had an excellent guide called Josophia via Congo Local Guides which is run by Christian who is very helpful, friendly and very quick to respond. His guide was extremely professional and explained every spot that we visited within Goma very well. He also gave me great knowledge on various aspects about Goma and Congo in general from cultural, political and historical points and he made the tour extremely interesting for me . I find him very approachable as well to ask the most basic questions which made the tour enjoyable Anyone can walk around in Goma by themselves ,but the place becomes a lot more interesting when a good guide shares many stories and facts that cannot easily be found on the Internet. I highly recommend him !Posted on Eng_JKVerified When in the DRC, Christian is your guy! When travelling off the beaten path, you'd want the best and safest experience possible. This is exactly what we- my wife and I got with Christian, From the moment we'd contacted him about the possibility of organising a trip to the DRC, he responded very promptly to our questions and sent us a detailed itinerary of places we could visit in and around Bukavu, Idjwi Islands and Goma. He's also knowledgeable of tourist visa rules and was very reliable in arranging our entry visas and responsible in communicating to us requirements of our travel. All areas of the itinerary were taken care in detail- we just showed up and were guided through a plethora of activities from gorilla trekking in Kahuzi Biega National Park to cultural visits with the local people of the Idjwis and a relaxing overnight stay at the tented camps of Tchegera Island.The extent of Christian's commitment to tourists travelling with his company cannot be overstated, Although we did not meet him in person during our time there, he always made sure to remain contactable and dutifully responded and dealt with any concerns we had along the way. All this while he was travelling on a separate trip in the remote regions of Congo- this level of professionalism is extremely commendable and where we're concerned, is the gold standard that private guides should aspire to.Posted on Jan GVerified Kinshshasa tour We did our trip with Congo local guides in March. We visited Kinshasa and partly Congo central province. We had special experience with Tata Gonda. In Kishasa we met with sapeurs, visited Bonobo sanctuary and our highlight was wrestling. Trip was very well organized, all minor setbacks were very well and quickly resolved. Our guide Josiphia was very helpfull and took really good care of us and our safety. Trully amazing trip and services!Posted on ChrisVerified Katanga Trip DRC I did a 10 day trip with CLG and their guide Luc through Katanga region riding my own motorbike. Although not an ordinary trip and a bit complicated in the preparation specially due to paperwork, Christian and his crew worked tirelessly to get everything together and make it happen. On the ground in DRC it was extremely helpful to have Luc at my side who is speaking all necessary local languages. And since i don´t speak french it was also great that Luc speaks english. Luc´s a super nice chap who stayed calm and cool even when situations got stressy and complicated. I enjoyed it a lot to travel with him and share this great experience riding a motorbike through DRC. Of course, DRC is not an easy destination, but with CLG you are in the best of hands. Special thanks to Luc for sharing this with me and Christian for the fantastic preparation and support from start to end (and even my ongoing travels during that trip) and of course to everyone else involved from the CLG crew. Highly recommended!
With Local guide Daniel, let us enjoy the local culture and feel relax.
I do highly recommended Congo local guide as a door to visit DRCongo!
