Home » Congo safari tours travel
Experience the Congo Basin’s raw wilderness and come face-to-face with endangered mountain gorillas, lowland gorillas, and the rare okapi on our exclusive Congo safari tours. Kiwoito Africa Safaris invites you to explore the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) — Africa’s best-kept secret for wildlife lovers, adventurers, and conservation enthusiasts.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth. Unlike more frequented safari destinations, Congo offers off-the-beaten-path safaris that immerse you in authentic, untouched wilderness.

Virunga and Kahuzi-Biega National Parks are home to habituated gorilla families, allowing for intimate and ethical gorilla encounters. Unlike Rwanda and Uganda, Congo gorilla trekking permits are more affordable, with fewer crowds and deeper immersion into the forest ecosystem.
Fun Fact: Virunga is Africa’s oldest national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Explore Virunga National Park, hike to the mountain gorillas, and visit the Senkwekwe Gorilla Orphanage.
Combine a once-in-a-lifetime climb to Mount Nyiragongo’s crater with a gorilla trek.
Start in Kigali, trek gorillas in both Rwanda and Congo, and climb Nyiragongo for a multi-country adventure.
The dry seasons from June to September and December to February offer the best trekking conditions. Trails are more accessible and gorilla sightings are most rewarding during this time.
