Kahuzi-Biega National Park, located near Bukavu in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its biodiversity and stunning landscapes. Spanning both mountainous and lowland terrain, the park is home to two dormant volcanoes, Mount Kahuzi and Mount Biéga, which give the park its name. It shelters the critically endangered eastern lowland gorilla, alongside numerous other mammal and bird species, many of which are endemic. The park's diverse habitats range from dense rainforests to bamboo and subalpine heather, creating an environment rich in flora and fauna. Despite challenges such as conservation threats and regional instability, Kahuzi-Biega remains a critical refuge for wildlife and a unique destination for those seeking to explore Congo's natural heritage.

Simply amazing! Up close and personal with the gorillas in less than 20 minutes from leaving the lounge (on foot). Really knowledgeable staff, and great skill in both French and English (probably other languages as well). I could say more, but the photos can speak for themselves. :-)

We went for gorilla trekking and it was just stunning. What I liked even more was the fact that we were the only tourists at this time. If you compare to rwanda or uganda which are much more busy. The briefing and everything was very professional and overall we preffered it over the gorilla trekking in Uganda (bwindi NP), which we did a couple of days before.

I would recommend Kahuzi Biega to everyone, don’t hesitate to visit. I’ve been at many national parks such massai mara, Ngorongoro, Etosha, Hwange…and Kahuzi Biega is at the top. Excellent work done by all the rangers and management from the park, who takes care of the gorillas. You can visit it from Bukavu easily. I was supposed to stay there few hours and I finally stayed 3 days. Awesome place 😍😍 thanks a lot Kahuzi Biega, hopefully I can come again

We visited the gorilla park in congo and it was beyond our expectations. We saw the gorillas family from a short distance, like 2 meters. The ranger explained about the difference between the mountain gorillas and the valley gorillas. The park is well organized and it worth it. Highly recommend and the price is affordable.
