Kongo Nil- A once in a lifetime experience

This experience turned out to be the one of the most authentic and enjoyable trips I took while in Rwunda. The Kongo Nil Trail has so much more to offer than „ just“ seeing the land of the thousand hills in all of its beauty. It is the purest form to experience the raw and real heart of Rwunda. I had the pleasure of seeing the most stunning mountainviews, walk through breathtakingly beautiful green nature and find myself in the middle of sugarcanes and banatrees and all of that was made possible by a wonderful guide who led the way through the most remote areas of this amazing country. Honoré, I would like to, wholeheartedly, thank you for showing my the beauty of Rwunda and for doing so in a very attentive, enthusiastic and caring way. Although the hike itself was tough, Honoré took care of everything that was needed during the entire hike and even had plan b and c at hand in case it was needed. He made this whole trip feel very safe and it was my upmost pleasure of having him as a guide for these incredible 4 days.

Tour experiences vary from well-organized, comfortable package tours to more interactive, real-time experiences. Positive tours are often defined by excellent guides, seamless logistics, opportunities for new discoveries, and the creation of lasting memories. While some prefer the convenience of group tours for things like time and budget optimization, others seek more freedom or unique moments that go beyond standard itineraries
People meet twice i will definitely make it again with you

Thank you Honoré for your much effort to make our trip memorable the way I never thought it would be. I will definitely contact you once I comeback to East Africa and assist us in enjoying the region.

What a super experience with Honorio tours, Honoré was very amazing since we meet. He picked us from the airport after three weeks that we booked and from there our adventure started and by the way we were expecting to enjoy our Congo Nil Experience the next days. Honoré was very caring by sharing history of Rwanda with his knowledge we proudly enjoyed every single moment with him as we were making a film documentary I definitely say that without him our work would be done! Thank you Honoré😍 See you when I back in Rwanda
Great experience and stunning views with Honorio

I did the Congo Nile Trail with a friend of mine, which turns out as one of the best things we've done in eastern Africa. I experienced the 4 days quite intense and really liked every day of them. Honorio speaks perfect english and french what is really helpful. He is a cool guy and it was always fun to spent time with him! Honorio knows a lot about the history and the country in general.
