About

Virunga Park Congo Tours is a regional safari operator based in the Great Lakes region offering organised trips into Virunga National Park, the Democratic Republic of the Congo's flagship protected area. The outfit markets gorilla trekking, Nyiragongo volcano climbs, chimpanzee habituation experiences and birding excursions, working with park authorities to arrange permits, accommodation and ground transport for visitors entering the park from the Goma side. For birders, the company highlights Virunga's roughly 700 recorded species, including a slate of Albertine Rift endemics and montane forest specialities that are difficult or impossible to access elsewhere. Recommended birding seasons are stated as June–August and December–January, when access conditions and visibility are best. Tours can be combined with neighbouring parks in Rwanda and Uganda, though the operator's specialism is the DRC itself. The company maintains a booking site with WhatsApp and email enquiry channels and lists multi-day itineraries with current pricing, indicating active commercial operations.
