About us!
Like you, we didn't know who to trust for travel advice.
That's why we created Gorillas Jungle Treks, a travel agency written by a true expert tour operator, not anonymous contributors.Mr.Jean de la Croix Amani Njovu, writer and local tour operator, proud of the Central, South, East, and Southern Africa region, organizes memorable itineraries, is passionate about river and lake cruises and hotel bookings, knows all the ships at sea, and much more.Our agency is ranked among the top 10 tourism information websites in Africa and attracts tourists from the developing world, according to our clients who travel with us, various embassies, and NOBA, a leading internet audience measurement company.We have over 40 tour operators—from long-time locals to licensed tour guides—who share helpful travel tips and inspiration for destinations throughout the Democratic Republic of Congo.
GORILLAS JUNGLE TREKS has received numerous awards since its inception, including from the National Tourism Office, the Ministry of Tourism of the DRC, the National Parks of the DRC, and the local communities of our various African destinations.
You'll find that our library, backed by 13 years of experience and over 5,000 articles, will make you a savvy traveler: you'll learn how to book a hotel that will please the whole family, find the best bagel in Africa, and skip the lines at amusement parks.
We guarantee you a truly enjoyable vacation, without the hassle of finding a guide or asking yourself any questions.Our guides are purely professional, ready to assist you with various travel plans and hotel bookings.
Here are the three principles that guide our coverage:
• Accuracy and integrity: Every article on the site is rigorously checked and updated by our team and a vast network of independent travel writers.Furthermore, we don't accept any payment for articles, which allows us to guarantee that the places we describe and recommend are as exceptional as we claim.
• Targeted recommendations: We don't recommend everything, only the very best.Unlike review sites overflowing with information, the writer relies on their firsthand knowledge to suggest places that deserve your attention, whether for a business trip, a family vacation, or other types of travel such as trips with friends or as a couple.
• Expertise: Writer Jean de la Croix Amani Njovu lives and works daily in the destinations they describe.They can tell you how to take the bus, where to find the best croissant, and much more.This includes budget travel and reasonable prices for your travel plans.
Our in-house editorial team oversees every article on our site.
Our goal is to offer a comprehensive library of travel content, allowing travelers to find inspiration, plan their trips, and benefit from valuable advice once they arrive at their destination.Unlike many popular travel sites that rely on freelance writers to produce standalone articles, most of our writers are experts in their respective destinations and topics: they know everything from the best beaches, bars, and shops to the best luggage to buy and apps to download before you go.
We add relevant links to our content that can expand your knowledge or help you plan your trip.
We sometimes include links to external sites if they are relevant, such as to direct you to businesses or products we have tested and recommend.
In some cases, we may receive a small commission if you click on a link and make a purchase.All such links are clearly identified.To learn more about our product review process, click here.
At GORILLAS JUNGLE TREKS, we are committed to providing the highest quality content, produced by humans, for humans.Publishing automatically generated content using AI-powered writing tools like ChatGPT violates our guidelines.Instead, we use the G.J.T.app.
