Congo Gorilla Safari Overview

Congo Gorilla Safari – This 4-day trip allows you to visit Congo and see the gorillas and the Nyiragongo volcano. The area has a volcano called Nyiragongo, which is really cool because it has the biggest lava lake in the world. Also, in the Virunga national park, you can find the mountain gorilla. There are less than 1000 mountain gorillas in the world and seeing them is a very exciting experience.

The hike to the volcano will be quite challenging and will take 4 to 6 hours. But it will be very rewarding when you reach the top. The lava lake is amazing, and tourists spend a long time looking at the waves of lava and listening to its loud sounds.
