    We did the Nyiragongo hike with Moses – he was awesome! Quick to communicate, helpful with border crossings, personable and great sense of humor. We were impressed with enthusiasm of all the people we met to promote safety and enjoyment of what this amazing country has to offer! This is an experience beyond all others – if you have any doubts – just do it!
