Top Congo Safaris; Gorilla Safari Packages & Nyiragongo Volcano Hikes

Be part of our customized Congo gorilla safaris to explore the beauty of this least-visited country with Superfine Safaris. Go gorilla trekking in Virunga National park, home to over 200 mountain gorillas habituated into 8 families. Apparently, gorilla tours in Congo are closed due to instability and rebel attacks in the park. The gorilla park has been closed for close to 2 years now but the government and security are working together to restore peace and reopen the park for travelers. Superfine Safaris will keep you updated when the park reopens for gorilla trekking.

Nyiragongo Volcano climbing: This is another interesting adventure to do on your Congo safari. Located in the heart of Virunga National park, Mount Nyiragongo is one of the 8 Virunga volcanoes in the Virunga Conservation Area. Nyiragongo Mountain is one of the two active volcanoes in the Virunga Massif, the other one being Nyamuragira also located in Virunga Park. Nyiragongo stands at 3,470 meters above sea level and its summit shelters a 2 kilometers wide crater lake which is the largest in the whole world. A 3 Days Nyiragongo hike including an overnight stay on the mountain slopes offers you the chance to observe the boiling lava lake. The lower slopes of the mountain are covered by forests that shelter endangered mountain gorillas and other primates. You can combine gorilla trekking and Nyiragongo volcano hiking by booking our 4 Days Congo safari

Our Congo safaris also include visiting the endangered eastern lowland gorillas in Kahuzi Biega National Park. Lowland gorillas are a subspecies of the western gorillas and it's the largest gorilla specie among the other four gorilla species. There are roughly 13 gorilla families in this park but only 2 have been habituated for trekking. Congo is the best place for budget gorilla safaris where the permit costs $400 each. A 3 Days lowland gorilla trek is your suitable package to meet and enjoy and counter with these critically endangered gorilla species. Moreso, you trek both mountain gorillas and lowland gorillas on our customized 5 Days Congo double gorilla safari guided by Superfine Safaris.
