Congo Gorilla Permits
Book Congo Gorilla Permits through Gorilla Hurly Burly and trek mountain gorillas or eastern lowland gorillas in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Gorilla trekking takes place in Virunga National Park and Kahuzi-Biega National Park, with permits costing $400 per person per trek.
You need a valid gorilla permit to enter either park and see the gorillas in their natural habitat. Gorilla Hurly Burly helps you book Congo Gorilla Permits early and arranges transport and accommodation for your trek.
Congo Gorilla Permit Cost and Booking Process
Congo Gorilla Permits cost $400 per person per trek in both Virunga National Park and Kahuzi-Biega National Park. You can buy permits through the Congo Tourism Office or book through a trusted tour operator. Most visitors choose a tour operator because they handle the permit, transport, and accommodation together as one package.
Kahuzi-Biega National Park gives you the option to trek eastern lowland gorillas at the same $400 permit price, offering a second gorilla trekking destination within Congo.
Gorilla Trekking in Congo: Travel Guide and Safety Tips
Congo has rich wildlife and quiet forest reserves, but the country still faces political instability in parts. Check the current security situation before booking your gorilla trekking safari in Congo.
Virunga National Park is the main site for mountain gorilla trekking in Congo, with 8 habituated gorilla families available for trekking. Trekking continues even with ongoing security concerns in some regions, so plan with a trusted tour operator and stay updated on travel advisories.
Where to See Mountain Gorillas in Africa
Mountain gorillas live in only a few locations in Africa: Virunga National Park in Congo, Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda.
A valid gorilla permit is required at each of these parks. Book your permit early to secure your preferred trekking date, since permits are limited and demand is high during peak season.
