Congo - Gorilla tracking in Virunga Park & Nyiragongo Volcano Hike
4 days
About this activity
Itinerary
Congo's magnificent calling card is Virunga NP, Africa's oldest national park and home to mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and the incredible, active Nyiragongo volcano.
Nyiragongo is a beautiful stratovolcano that features the world’s largest lava lake. Nyiragongo soars above the city of Goma and the surrounding Virunga NP and sends plumes of smoke into the sky, before becoming a flaming beacon visible for miles around after sundown. The trek to the top is an absolutely unmissable experience
Nyiragongo’s summit rim is largely devoid of vegetation and is frequently dusted with snow. The night will be spent in tents on the rim of the giant crater, high above the active lava lake.
Stop At:
• Virunga National Park, Goma Democratic Republic of the Congo
• Lake Kivu, Goma Democratic Republic of the Congo
