4 Days Congo Gorilla Safari from Kenya (Wildlife & Gorillas)

Enjoy a long weekend with this 4 Days Congo gorilla safari from Kenya. Jambo Jet is, fortunately, offering flights from Nairobi to the Goma capital of Congo, this, therefore, means a direct flight to Congo for a cheaper gorilla trekking experience than the neighboring countries. The mountain gorilla permit in Congo is the cheapest in Africa and this weekend package is the best way to trek these giants within their natural habitat and relax in Congo.

Treks usually require 1-2.5 hours of hiking each way, depending on the location of the gorilla group being trekked and the difficulty of the terrain.
