Tours & travel services in Democratic Republic of the Congo

The Democratic Republic of Congo shelters more than half of Africa's tropical rainforest and hosts an extraordinary concentration of endemic megafauna. Global Bush Travel designs fly-in corporate programs to Virunga National Park—the world's most biodiverse national park and home to one-third of the planet's remaining mountain gorillas—including gorilla trekking from Rumangabo ranger station, volcano hiking on the active Nyiragongo crater rim (overnight summit camp), and okapi forest walks in the Ituri lowland sector. Programs based in Lubumbashi feature Upemba National Park hippo-viewing safaris on the Lufira River, Kahuzi-Biéga National Park lowland gorilla encounters accessible from Bukavu, and Kundelungu Plateau waterfall expeditions. For Kinshasa-based programs, we arrange Congo River sunset cruises to the Malebo Pool, pirogue excursions to the Kinsuka rapids, and cultural evenings featuring Lingala rumba performances—the Congolese Rumba inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list. All itineraries are coordinated with the Institut Congolais pour la Conservation de la Nature (ICCN) and include security briefings aligned with UN security phase protocols.
