The 3 days gorilla trekking safari starts and ends in Kigali taking you to the Democratic Republic of Congo for an exciting Lowland gorilla trekking. Congo is known for having both lowland and Mountain Gorillas and because of this, you can extend this tour to further track mountain gorillas after your encounter with the lowland Gorillas found in Kahuzi Biega National park.

A Lowland gorilla trekking is considered even more fun to go for compared to the most commonly known Uganda & Rwanda mountain gorilla trekking. It’s cheaper and less visited meaning the gorillas here are still very nature-undisturbed.
