Ngweta Africa Safaris

Congo Safaris & Gorilla Trekking

Discover the Democratic Republic of the Congo with Ngweta Africa Safaris. From spectacular volcanic scenery and the expansive Lake Kivu shoreline to tropical forests home to rare Grauer’s gorillas, Congo offers remarkable landscapes and a conservation story unlike anywhere else in Africa. We plan private, thoughtfully paced journeys and multi-country extensions to Uganda and Rwanda.

Discover Congo’s Rainforests, Gorillas and Volcanoes

In eastern DR Congo, Kahuzi-Biega National Park protects important habitat for the endangered eastern lowland gorilla, while Virunga National Park is known for mountain gorillas, striking volcanic peaks and diverse wildlife. Lake Kivu and the historic towns of Goma and Bukavu add beautiful scenery and cultural interest. We will discuss practical access, visas and permits for each client before confirming their itinerary.
