The DRC is without a doubt a destination less travelled to, but this only adds to its allure for the intrepid traveler. Virunga National Park (Africa’s oldest national park and a UNESCO world heritage site due to its immense biodiversity), has two considerable gems hidden within its boundaries, the endangered Mountain Gorillas and the world’s largest lava lake found atop the Nyiragongo volcano.Those who are prepared to make the journey will be rewarded with once in a lifetime memories, sitting in the presence of these gentle giants and staring into the fiery depths of the earth. Quite possibly one of the most life changing destinations to encounter.
