After that tremendous safari in Uganda, transfer for another gorilla safari in Congo.  Gorilla trekking in the Democratic Republic of Congo involves hiking deep into the mountain jungles to observe a gorilla family in the wild. Visitors will be led by guides and national park rangers who keep records of the gorillas for conservation purposes and help protect them from poachers.

They can determine the general area where a gorilla family will be and are skilled in tracking them. Your gorilla trekking adventure in the Democratic Republic of Congo will begin early in the morning and you will be driven up to the gorilla trekking starting point at Bukima, a ranger’s station in the mountains of the Virunga National Park, outside the city of Goma. The small agrarian villages you’ll pass, and the people who run to the road to wave at you, will give you a glimpse of a different way of life.

The length of the trek is entirely dependent on the gorillas. Sometimes the guides can track them down in less than two hours, other times it takes much longer. Mountain gorillas are nomadic, travelling the jungle in families and staying in an area just long enough to clear it of food.

They also don’t follow a clear path, and you’ll realize when tracking them that they like to meander. On your first sighting, you may see mothers holding their babies, juvenile gorillas playing, or dominant silver backs keeping an eye out for their family!
