Trek up to the rim of an active volcano and sleep in a rustic camp in one of the most unique settings on the planet – above a lake of red hot lava and beneath a sky full of infinite stars. Mount Nyiragongo is located in the famously beautiful and unspoiled Virunga National Park, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo near the border with Rwanda. The DRC is full of stunning natural wonders, but due to an unpredictable political climate the region is best navigated accompanied by an expert team of rangers and guides who are experienced in the terrain and dedicated to keeping you safe. On the day after you spend the night on the volcano’s rim you’ll go trekking to see wild mountain gorillas, one of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom who share 98% of their DNA with humans.
