A safari in Africa to view a group of these unique apes is undeniably one of the most thrilling and most sought-after adventures that you should count a must to include in your next safari holiday.

This 4 days Gorilla safari takes you to the Democratic Republic of Congo. Lowland Gorillas are found in Kahuzi Biega national park. Located in South Kivu, Kahuzi Biega is a World Heritage site and one of two homes of the Eastern Lowland Gorillas.

Spending one to four hours on a face to face encounter with these dramatic creatures is such a magical experience that comes once in a lifetime!

  • Unforgettable visit with the gorillas

    We had an amazing visit to see the lowland gorillas in Kahuzi Biega National Park. Kwafrika organized our trip and it went smoothly. A few hiccups were expected and Kwafrika quickly sorted them out. Daniel was a fantastic guide. We found the gorillas within an hour of hiking and got to stay and observe them for one hour. It was unbelievable. The guide/ranger was very knowledgeable.
