In July, my partner and I embarked on an awe-inspiring gorilla trekking journey organized by Augustine Tours through Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi, and it was nothing short of enchanting. In Uganda, our trek to encounter the mountain gorillas was the highlight of our trip. Augustine Tours meticulously arranged the permits and logistics, and their knowledgeable guides made the trek informative and exciting. The moment we came face-to-face with these gentle giants amidst the lush Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was surreal—an experience that left us speechless. Transitioning into Rwanda, our guide seamlessly guided us through captivating cultural encounters at the Ibyiwacu Cultural Village after a golden monkey tracking tour in Volcanoes National Park. As we ventured into Burundi, we were pleasantly surprised to uncover hidden gems. The tranquil beauty of Burundi's landscapes and the warm hospitality of its people created lasting impressions. Gishora Drum Sanctuary was a highlight of our trip, a site that showcases the rich cultural heritage of Burundi. The accommodations were top-notch, offering comfort, and the meals were simply delicious. Our African tour journey with Augustine Tours was more than a vacation; it was an enriching experience that connected us deeply with nature, culture, and people. The memories of our gorilla trekking adventure will forever hold a special place in our hearts.

A well-planned tour of Burundi and Rwanda two beautiful countries I've been longing to visit despite travel warnings. Four of us recently took a 10-day tour of Rwanda and Burundi. We were truly impressed with the level of hospitality and service we received. Hypolite, our guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. In Burundi, we visited the Gishora drum sanctuary, and Karera waterfalls and hiked through Teza Plantations. The 40-minute drum show at Gishora was simply mesmerizing. The last stop of the tour was Volcanoes National Park, home to the endangered Rwanda mountain gorillas. We were able to get up close with the gorillas, which is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We also visited the twin lakes of Bulera and Ruhondo where we enjoyed a boat ride and beautiful scenery. Overall, our tour was an incredible experience. The culture of Rwanda and Burundi is also incredibly unique and fascinating. I would highly recommend Augustine Tours to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience in these countries. The level of service and hospitality was top-notch, and I am already considering my next trip to Tanzania and Kenya with Augustine.

My wife and I just finished a 7-day Gorilla trip to Rwanda with Augustine Tours. It was an absolutely amazing experience. The tour guide, Gaston, was knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. He made sure that we saw all the best sites and attractions in Rwanda. He took us to the Volcanoes National Park and we were able to see gorillas up close watching their movements and behaviors for an hour. He also took us to the Kigali Genocide Memorial and we were able to learn about the history of Rwanda and the resilience of the Rwandan people. We stayed at Mille Collines Hotel and Mountain View Lodge. The accommodation was comfortable and the food was delicious. I highly recommend Augustine Tours to anyone who is looking for a unique and unforgettable experience in Rwanda.

In January my husband and I had the opportunity to take a 5-day Mountain Gorilla trekking tour in Rwanda our Africa bucket list for a long time. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life! Getting close to these gentle giants was truly awe-inspiring. Augustine Tours had a reasonable offer and the trek itself was well worth the effort and the money. Our guide Yahya was knowledgeable and friendly. Rwanda's scenery is breathtaking and the opportunity to view wildlife in its natural habitat was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour and Augustine to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure! Kirsten- A happy gorilla trekker!

Augustin Tours helped us plan our Rwanda adventure - taking care of all the details, handling all the logistics, and pairing us with a knowledgeable and flexible guide who introduced us to Rwanda. 😊 It was an amazing trip and I'm very highly considering contacting Augustin (and our guide, Yahya) again to help explore Burundi.

Well planned and executed! My husband and I booked in January the overland 13-day gorilla trekking tour that took us through Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi. We had a great time - the chimpanzee and gorilla trekking in Uganda were fabulous. The guides(Moses and Hypolite) were highly knowledgeable about the culture and traditions. Our communication with Augustine before and throughout the tour was seamless. I highly recommend Augustine Tours.

We (me and my son) have just returned from a very exciting trip from Uganda perfectly organised by the Augustine Tours. We were picked up from Rwanda and were driven by very professional guide and driver Kaye. We had a great time in Bwindi (gorilla trekking) which I can recommend to everybody. It’s been an unique life time experience! Then we drove East to Jinja (sources of Nile) and weee also impressed how this amazing place at Lake Victoria looks like, finally we ended up in Kampala and had a great all day city tour in and around this vibrant city. By the end we had prior to our departure an unforgettable dinner in Entebbe at shores of Lake Victoria during the sunset. I can only recommend the services of Augustine Tours, genuine professionals in their job!

We(my husband and I) just finished a 12-day tour to Burundi, Rwanda, and Uganda with Augustine Tours. The original plan was to do gorilla trekking in Uganda and chimpanzee tracking but they added some highlights on cultural and historical visits in Burundi and Rwanda, countries they have a wealth of local knowledge. They designed a tailor-made tour and included the best choice of hotels and activities. I cannot thank enough our local guides who were in all aspects knowledgeable and informative. I highly RECOMMEND Augustine Tours for anyone considering touring the three countries with a local expert.

We enjoyed our 15-day tour to Burundi, Rwanda, and Uganda with Augustine Tours in February 2022. The highlights were the game drives in Queen Elizabeth National Park, Gorilla trekking experience in Bwindi National Park. We had a great time - the chimpanzee and Gorilla trekking were simply fabulous. Augustine Tours made sure we had the best experience every day from the airport pick up throughout the end of our tour. The lodges were immaculate and served great food. All the questions we had while preparing for our trip were perfectly and quickly answered which was the first positive sign from the company. I would recommend Augustine Tours to anyone who shares our love of Africa and if you book a tour, you will be in the right hands to do the Gorilla trekking, game viewing, and cultural experience.

One of the best day tours I ever did(Hypolite). I travel a lot but this Bujumbura city day-tour with Hypolite was some of the best day-tours that I ever did. I stayed in Kigali and flew for a day tour to Bujumbura. I booked this tour on Internet and to pay it in advance to a German bank account. It was not cheap, from a local view even expensive. Yet, everything was perfect. The airport pick-up was perfect and the whole tour which lasted until 17.00, was a perfect day. Especially mentioned was the boat trip on the river, the lunch on a fantastic place (BoraBoar Beach), market visits, fishing village and everything. Hypolit was such a friendly and smiling person, professional and very flexible to all my request. This guy i would select for any other tours in the future. Not to forget the driver. Good car and he drove very professional in a extremly hectic area with a lot of dirty streets. I felt me very secured by his driving style. Was the best day for my week stay in this area.

A trip of a lifetime to Rwanda, Uganda, DR Congo, and Zanzibar! I can't believe how well everything was planned out. Eugene is an incredible guide and driver. And Augustin was on top of everything. They both even made sure there was a vegetarian option for me wherever we went. The hotels were immaculate. This was truest one of the greatest trips I've ever taken. when an area was undergoing some unexpected political strife, Eugene and Augustin got me to safety without a hitch and had "backup" excursions all planned out that were incredible. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime.

Augustine Tours was a perfect choice for me. I wanted to see Burundi because I aim to visit every country of the world, but Burundi was a hard destination for visa problems. Not only they solved me the problem for my Visa helping me to get a Visa on arrival, but they sent me the best driver/guide I ever had in my tours.... And even the cost was absolutely proportionated to the service received. 5 stars to their service, and thanks. Burundi is not a destination on the top of the list also because bad advices about political instability or other problems. Well, I think that this is a big mistake... and that the country has to offer more. But being still not so ready to tourism, to explore it with a serious professional tour operator like Augustine Tours is a good money-worth choice even for 100% independent travelers as I am.

Augustine Tours arranged an excellent 3 day tour of Burundi. Mr. Hypolite, my guide, kindly shared with me the best spots of the country and its cultural heritage. The program was excellent, and we managed to visit the beautiful highlands and even included a boat trip on Tanganyika lake at the end of the trip. Well done Augustine Tours!

Professional and best for money tour: We would like to thank Augustine Tours for their prompt and responsive service from the pre-planning stage of planning the best sequence of places to visit to maximize our time as well as accommodating our requests for a special diet (vegetarian) and ensure our safety and wellbeing at all times. We had a great time with their company. We did a customized private tour for Rwanda, Uganda, and Burundi to visit all the highlights and cool places offered by each unique country. Transfer and crossing borders was a breeze with Kelly arranging everything carefully for us. All in all, we did a game drive, city tours, gorilla trekking, visit the genocide museum, churches, and markets and the tour package quoted was very reasonable! We have traveled to other parts of Africa (Kenya and Tanzania) and know that the English language may be a barrier for some tour operators but Augustine Tours did not have this problem as Kelly and our Tour Guide spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable on the many things in the different countries. We also research many tour agencies for this trip and Augustine Tours had the best deal and package. Definitely value for money and good professional standard. I would highly recommend them to all who want to visit Rwanda, Uganda, and Burundi. Start planning early especially if you are traveling during peak periods to see the Gorillas as they would need to reserve the entrance admission ticket in advance. Happy Travels!!

Great trip to see the highlights of Burundi with Hypolite who was knowledgeable and very personable. Loved the drive into the countryside to Karera Falls, to the source of the White Nile, and to where Stanley met Livingstone. An election and heavy rain made it impossible to visit Gishora Drum Sanctuary for their drum performance. HOWEVER, Hypolite and I were waved through barricades to follow a military jeep down an empty broad boulevard lined with well-wishers -- before the newly elected president's entourage passed. What a thrill to experience! Wonderful customer service provided by Hypolite while in Burundi and to Kelly for arranging the reasonably priced tour. I was so impressed I recommended Augustine Tours to a fellow traveler I met on my next trip.
