About the Destination

What to Expect in Democratic Republic of Congo

Beyond gorilla trekking, the region's volcanic highlands and dense equatorial forest make for a raw, rewarding complement to a Uganda or Rwanda itinerary, arranged with the extra planning and guiding support this destination requires.
