Eastern Lowland Gorilla Trekking in Kahuzi-Biega – Wildlife, Adventure & Impact Travel
Experience Overview
Trek to encounter the world's largest gorillas—the critically endangered Grauer's (eastern lowland) gorilla—found nowhere else on Earth but the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Kahuzi-Biega National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, protects the last remaining populations of this magnificent subspecies.
