Best Places for Congo Gorilla Safaris

Virunga National Park – Mountain Gorilla Trekking

Virunga National Park is the oldest national park in Africa and a prime destination for Congo Gorilla Trekking. The park hosts approximately one-third of the world's remaining mountain gorillas, providing a rare chance to view these endangered primates in close proximity.

Kahuzi-Biega National Park – Lowland Gorilla Safaris

For anyone interested in trying Congo Lowland Gorilla Safaris, Kahuzi-Biega National Park is the ideal place. Unlike the mountain gorillas, eastern lowland gorillas are bigger and have varied social behaviors, and therefore this hike is a different experience.

Mount Nyiragongo – Volcano Trekking

A destination not to be missed for the adventurous traveler, Mount Nyiragongo provides a demanding but hugely rewarding climb to the top, where you can see the world's largest lava lake. This is sometimes combined with a Congo Gorilla Safari to create the ultimate African adventure.
