DR Congo Destinations
The park is huge, about three times the size of Luxembourg, covering nearly 8,000 square kilometers. It’s situated in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo and is home to the Virunga Mountains.
The park’s unique feature is its eastern lowland gorillas, the largest of their kind. With about 250 individuals, it’s the highest population in Congo. The gorillas, also known as Grauer’s gorillas, are mainly found in the park.
This park is famous for its large herds of elephants and is the only place in the Congo where you can find the Kordofan giraffe. In the past, Garamba was also home to white rhinos, but extensive poaching during the Congo civil wars led to their decline.
