Gorilla & Chimp

8 Day Gorillas & Forests:
Kahuzi Biega Gorillas & Rwanda exploration

Venture deep into the heart of East and Central Africa on this 8-day private safari through Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Designed for travellers with a passion for raw wilderness and rare wildlife, this journey takes you from the serene waters of Lake Kivu, through the ancient Nyungwe Forest, to the rugged terrain of Kahuzi-Biega National Park. Track chimpanzees, walk among the treetops on a canopy trail, and come face to face with Eastern Lowland gorillas—twice. With visits to conservation centres and cultural landmarks, this immersive adventure offers a rare opportunity to explore some of Africa’s most remote and biodiverse regions.
