Congo - Gorilla tracking in Virunga Park & Nyiragongo Volcano Hike

Nyiragongo Volcano is located in the east of Congo, around 19 km from Goma, and is the most active volcano in the world. In 1997 and 2002, flows of very liquid lava broke out from cracks in the volcanic slopes.

The night will be spent in tents on the rim of the giant crater, high above the active lava lake.

Itinerary

Congo's magnificent calling card is Virunga NP, Africa's oldest national park and home to mountain gorillas, chimpanzees and the incredible, active Nyiragongo volcano.

Nyiragongo is a beautiful stratovolcano that features the world’s largest lava lake. Nyiragongo soars above the city of Goma and the surrounding Virunga NP and sends plumes of smoke into the sky, before becoming a flaming beacon visible for miles around after sundown. The trek to the top is an absolutely unmissable experience

Nyiragongo’s summit rim is largely devoid of vegetation and is frequently dusted with snow. The night will be spent in tents on the rim of the giant crater, high above the active lava lake.
