We continuously monitor security conditions and will advise on any changes. Comprehensive travel insurance with DRC coverage is mandatory for this tour.

Tour Overview

Two Gorilla Treks. One Volcano. One Lake.

This 10-day adventure combines the best of Rwanda's wildlife with the raw, untamed drama of DR Congo's Virunga National Park. Two mountain gorilla treks across two countries, an overnight on the rim of Nyiragongo's active lava lake, and a boat safari on the extraordinary Lake Kivu.

This is one of Africa's most extraordinary and adventurous itineraries — designed for travellers who want to go beyond the conventional safari and experience the continent at its most wild, dramatic, and unforgettable.
