Great Trip
This tour was a huge success thanks to the efforts of Darius Twamihigo and Usalama tours. Darius did an excellent job of telling me how to prepare for this tour and answered all my questions. Darius picked me up early and delivered me timely to the Ranger Station. He did an excellent job of pairing me with a Ranger and tour participants that matched my physical fitness level. WE SAW 12 GORILLAS! Darius has an intricate knowledge of the Rwanda and surrounding landscapes that provide the traveler with valuable insight.

The Best experience we could dream of
We had such a great experience thanks to Darius ! We stayed 2 days in Rwanda : 1 day visiting Kigali and 1 day visiting the Gorillas. Being with the gorillas was my forever dream & Darius understood it well. He helped my bf & I to have an unforgettable moment, beyond what I had imagined. For this, I'm really greatful.
Darius is a good person and he was meant to be in contact of tourist people.
I can only recomand him and his touristic agency.
