TP 25 Kahuzi-Biega Eastern Lowland Gorillas 2026

Sad, but due continued insecurity in the area, Virunga NP with his Mountain Gorillas and Nyiragongo volcano is still closed. The only thing we can show for now are the fugitive camps and suffer of the population in the Goma area.
Visit of Kahuzi - Biega National Park : Eastern Lowland Gorillas
TP 25
Deep in the forests, the primates live in family groups that are very protective of their home ranges. Each group usually consists of a dominant male, with several females and their young, and some non-adult males. To watch them in their natural habitat is certainly one of the most inspiring experiences available to the serious safari-goer.
Please note that gorilla trekking is a strenuous activity and one should be physically fit to enjoy this safari. Minimum trekking age is fifteen years. Anyone with signs of
communicable disease will not be allowed to trek. While possession of a gorilla permit is a guarantee of trekking and sighting the gorillas, the quality of the gorilla trekking cannot be guaranteed totally. Maximum time allowed with the gorillas will not exceed one hour.
For Gorilla Tracking, we strongly recommend a rain poncho, knapsack, long-sleeved shirt and trousers, sturdy hiking boots, leather gardening type gloves, sunscreen, insect repellent and any necessary medications be brought with the clients.
