Finding Gorilla in DR Congo
Where are gorillas in DR Congo? The strongest odds are at Virunga National Park and Kahuzi-Biega National Park, where access and habitat beat a chance roadside glimpse.
Several parks and reserves in DR Congo are worth planning around. Virunga National Park (Eastern DRC); Kahuzi-Biega National Park (Eastern DRC). Use the notes under each spot to match the trip to your route.
DR Congo context: Okapis in the Ituri Rainforest, gorillas in the mist, and the heart of Africa's great green lung.
In DR Congo, look especially around montane rainforest and cloud forest. Those settings usually put you closest to where this species is active.
