Virunga National Park is Africa's oldest national park and one of the most biodiverse places on earth — a UNESCO World Heritage Site that protects the last remaining mountain gorillas in the world. Trekking to encounter a family of mountain gorillas in their natural habitat is widely regarded as one of the greatest wildlife experiences on the planet — an intimate, profound encounter with our closest relatives that changes everyone who experiences it.

This 6-day safari takes you into the heart of Virunga — a park that spans volcanic mountains, equatorial rainforest, savanna, and the shores of Lake Edward. Beyond the gorillas, Virunga is home to Nyiragongo, one of the world's most active volcanoes with a permanent lava lake at its summit — one of the most extraordinary natural spectacles on earth. This is the Democratic Republic of Congo at its most raw, most powerful, and most unforgettable.
