Welcome to the Virunga National Park, the oldest park in Africa. This park as for so many times been visited by a lot of tourists from the whole world.
Though in May 2018 this park experienced the militia attack to the British tourists, it has been on hold of client’s pack list to visit in 2019 and on wards.
Today, the Virunga Foundation in promoting tourism in this park has initiated a new gorilla experience “the Gorilla Binge” – this will involve a couple of nights in Kibumba Tented Camp visiting Baraka and Bageni gorilla families and then move across to Gatovu and overnight in the forest with the rangers in a little Fly Camp and then visit the second Congo gorilla habituation group and Kabarsi.
Thereafter, walk to Bukima point visiting Nyakamwe on the way. Spend a couple of nights in Bukima Tented Camp visiting Humba, Rugendo and Munyaga. In this way people can see eight of our gorilla groups found in the Virunga slopes of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The park is still doing well in the conservation programs of the mountain gorillas at the Senkwekwe gorilla orphans’ sanctuary.
They are loving their new enclosure, they have now got 45 hectares to play in and are learning to feed naturally, climb trees and have discovered chimps, which neither parties are totally happy about.
We have had 7 new baby gorillas born into our habituated groups since January, which is fantastic. With 12 babies last year 2018, our growing gorillas’ population is on track and we expect to serve the tourist highly.
