The Democratic Republic of Congo is the only country where visitors can see both mountain gorillas and their lowland cousins in the wild. It’s the best place to witness wild eastern lowland gorillas, which can also be seen in zoos worldwide. However, mountain gorillas can only be found thriving in their natural habitat. In the DR Congo, you can track lowland gorillas at Kahuzi Beiga National Park and mountain gorillas at Virunga National Park, along with the opportunity to hike the Nyiragogo volcano, one of the most active in the world with 34 recorded eruptions.
