Porters may be hired for the trek to carry your backpack and gear.
Your trek starts in the cultivated foothills of the Virunga’s offering stirring views in all directions.

Coming face to face with a giant silverback must truly be one of the greatest wildlife experiences on earth! After the trek, rejoin your driver guide for a transfer to your lodge for lunch.
