Venture into the heart of Africa and experience one of the most thrilling wildlife adventures on the planet: gorilla trekking in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). At One More Adventure Safaris, we specialize in creating bespoke Congo gorilla trekking safari that offer unparalleled access to these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. The DRC is home to both mountain and lowland gorillas, providing a unique and diverse trekking experience for avid wildlife enthusiasts and adventurous travelers alike.
Why Choose Congo for Gorilla Trekking?
- Unique Gorilla Species
- Mountain Gorillas: Found in the Virunga National Park, these critically endangered gorillas live in the dense, misty forests of the Virunga Mountains. Trekking here offers a rare chance to see these incredible animals up close.
- Eastern Lowland Gorillas: Located in Kahuzi-Biega National Park, these gorillas are larger and more robust than their mountain counterparts, offering a distinct and equally fascinating trekking experience.
- Untamed Wilderness The DRC is renowned for its wild and rugged landscapes. From the lush rainforests to the volcanic mountains, the country’s natural beauty provides a dramatic backdrop for your trekking adventure.
- Less Crowded Compared to gorilla trekking in Rwanda and Uganda, Congo’s trekking sites are less frequented by tourists, offering a more intimate and exclusive experience.
