Navigate the dense jungles of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, home to the critically endangered mountain gorillas, and learn of the fight for peace and stability on the frontline of conservation. Join this expedition to explore Virunga National Park, and you’ll hike to the smoking lava lake of Mount Nyiragongo to sleep on its crater rim before exploring the gorillas’ natural habitat. Then to the soaring peaks of the Rwenzori mountains in Uganda with their glaciated summits, dubbed the Mountains of the Moon, for a full scale confrontation with the extent of Central Africa’s dramatic scenery.
