Testimonials

What people are saying

"I participated in this event in 2019. It was a wonderful experience and a great way to see the country. We were exposed to the various industries particularly the tea and coffee plantations, the city , Lake Kivu and surrounding mountains.

We went up Mount Bisoke in search of gorillas but never saw any. I think that it may be worth to pay the extra amount included into the run to be guaranteed a gorilla sighting if this is a main motivation for participating in the event.

The organisation was fabulous and the greetings at the end of the day with hot face towels and cold beers awesome. "
