This 4-day Congo Gorilla Trekking Tour from Rwanda offers a rare and unforgettable opportunity to encounter the Eastern Lowland Gorillas (also known as Grauer’s gorillas) in their natural habitat within Kahuzi-Biega National Park, located in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The journey begins in Kigali, Rwanda, traveling west through Rwanda’s rolling hills to the shores of Lake Kivu, before crossing into the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the Rusizi border. From there, you continue to Bukavu, a vibrant lakeside town that serves as the gateway to Kahuzi-Biega National Park. The highlight of the tour is a guided gorilla trekking experience deep in the dense Congolese rainforest. Accompanied by expert park rangers, you will hike through pristine forest trails in search of a habituated lowland gorilla family. Once found, you will spend one awe-inspiring hour observing their behavior, interactions, and daily life at close range. Unlike mountain gorilla trekking, this experience introduces you to the largest gorilla subspecies in the world, which is found only in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The trek varies in duration and difficulty, adding to the sense of adventure and authenticity. The tour is carefully designed to allow sufficient time for border crossings, rest, and optional cultural or nature-based activities around Bukavu, making it ideal for travelers seeking a safe, well-organized Congo gorilla experience beginning from Rwanda.
