Trip Highlights
- Nyungwe is one of the most biologically diverse areas in Africa, with 20% of the continent’s primate species found here, more than 140 orchid species, over 240 tree species and 275 bird species, including 24 that are endemic to the Albertine Rift
- Nyungwe is the one of the furthest sources of both the Congo and the Nile, two of the world’s mightiest rivers

- You get to track the extremely rare Mountain Gorillas - on any given day, you will be one of the hundred luckiest people on the planet doing this
- Stay at the Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge, which combines luxury with responsibility - the lodge is owned by the local community, but run by high end accommodation experts Governors Camps
- The Virunga Volcanoes are a stunning location, and two of them, Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira, are still active.
