About the Destination
What to Expect in Democratic Republic of Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo offers an off-the-beaten-path safari experience centred on Virunga National Park, Africa's oldest national park and home to critically endangered mountain and eastern lowland gorillas. 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.
