Contrary to what the media puts at the forefront, Congo is not a lost cause and it is without a doubt one of those breathtaking destinations to visit, but I dare say, it’s not for the faint of heart to dare walk its path amidst the news that labels Congo very unsafe. Home to the largest lava lake in the world is Mt Nyiragongo which erupted in 2020 and caused a lot of displacement for the people of Goma and sadly claimed a number of lives with it. However, when it's dimmed safe, a lot of tourists flock to Virunga on the quest of 8 hours hike to the top of Nyiragongo that presents the most breathtaking views of the boiling lava lake, it’s truly a sight like no other! Congo is also home to the Low land Gorillas and they can be tracked at $400 per person which is way cheaper than Uganda and Rwanda but of course safety in the deep forest of the Gorillas proves a challenge for typical adventurists. With on-ground verified information, we are able to arrange trips to Congo or not depending on the safety and security situation.
