    Congo Safari

    Ranger-led wildlife journeys in the Democratic Republic of Congo — mountain gorillas, Kordofan giraffes, bonobos and the world's second-largest rainforest, in one country.

    Why a Congo Safari Is Unlike Any Other in Africa

    A Congo safari takes you to the only country on Earth where you can track mountain gorillas in Virunga, eastern lowland gorillas in Kahuzi-Biega, Kordofan giraffes in Garamba and wild bonobos in Salonga — all within one destination. With less than 5,000 international visitors a year across its national parks, the DRC remains Africa's last true wild safari frontier.

    Every itinerary on this page is operated with park-authorised ranger escorts, low-impact group sizes and a secure 70% deposit checkout in EUR.
