Thinking of a Congo gorilla Safari tour? With the return of peace and security in the Eastern part of this country,   Congo gorilla trekking tours are very interesting like never before. D.R. Congo presents amazing gorilla trekking safaris in only 2 National Parks, Virunga and Kahuzi Biega National Parks which are home to both Mountain and Eastern lowland gorilla species respectively.

The neighborhood of these national parks is dotted with bustling and steadily developing towns which are the main business centers that serve the tourism destinations.

The Goma town is located 20kms away from Virunga National Park and other attractions such as Nyiragongo volcano and Rwenzori Mountain ranges.

On the other hand, Bukavu town is conveniently situated on the fringes of Kahuzi-Biega National Park and presents one of the best luxurious accommodation facilities in the region.

The town serves as the main gate way for visitors going for lowland Congo gorilla tours in Kahuzi-Biega National Park.

Both towns and Parks themselves present a myriad of hotels and safari resorts that serve as accommodation and camping centers for gorilla trekkers in these respective gorilla destinations.

Some of the lodges that serve these gorilla destinations in Congo include the following;
