3 Days Congo Gorilla Trekking Tour.

Spending three days trekking with the world’s endangered mountain gorillas in Virunga National Park is part of our short safari to the Congo. Your trip to Virunga National Park, one of Africa’s oldest and most varied national parks, will be an unforgettable experience.

Day by day

DAY 01:  Pick up from Kigali and Transfer to Bukima in Congo

The driver will pick you up from Kigali’s hotel or airport early in the morning and give you an overview of the safari. After that, you will travel to Bukima in Congo, where you will stop for lunch after a four-hour drive to Goma town. After lunch, he will keep driving to Bukima, where you will spend the night.

DAY 02: Gorilla trekking in Virunga National Park-Congo

Your guide will take you to the Park Headquarters for a briefing after your early breakfast, where you will join other people before beginning your gorilla walk in the Virunga forest. Depending on where you are assigned to hike with the mountain gorilla family on that specific day, this trek may take anything from thirty minutes to seven hours. After locating the gorillas, you will have the opportunity to spend an hour with them, observing their behavior and taking pictures. Following this, you will be required to return to the Park Headquarters to conclude your journey.

DAY 03: Departure to Kigali

Following breakfast, you will either be transported back to Kigali for your post-tour lodging or, on the final day of your tour, you can opt to go by plane. You will make a second stop at the Rwanda-Congo border crossing because you will be returning by the same road. You can take pictures, buy souvenirs, or just unwind before continuing on to Kigali.
