Kahuzi Beiga is a gem among other wonders because it keeps the lives of the rare eastern lowland gorillas.
The park was actualized in 1970 by Adrien Deschyryver a wildlife conservationist and it has grown to be listed among the greatest and largest national park in the country.
The park started off as just a forest in 1937 until the Belgium colonial rule expanded the forest to include the surrounding areas. The park was named after the two dormant volcanoes in the park named Kahuzi and Beiga and the land is made of lowlands and mountainous areas.
Describe lowland gorilla trekking in the park.
As amazing as eastern gorillas, lowland gorillas are yet another adventurous attraction that is rarely seen in Congo’s Kahuzi Beiga.
Trekking these fantastic lowland gorillas starts very early in the morning where tourists converge at the headquarters in a brief interview.
Trekkers are divided into the groups of about 8 individuals and hit the jungle with the guidance of well trained and experienced tourist guides.
Tourists gallop over the tantalizing lands of the park while admiring nature for about 4 to 6 hours depending on where the gorillas are foraging.
One on one with the natural rare beauties in an hour given to the tourists is a memorable experience that tourists can’t live to forget.
Tourists enjoy the same scenic views on their way back and stay with the ever lasting memory of the fabulous apes found only in Kahuzi Beiga.
The safety of Kahuzi Beiga compared to Virunga National Park.
Kahuzi Beiga has over the years had a peaceful environment than the Virungas that have harbored terrorists and has been affected by the political unrest in the country.
Intruders in the park are nearly zero and if any gets a chance to enter, the action taken to eliminate them is too quick because the park is close to the UN mission in the areas of Bukavu.
Armed rangers trek out with the visitors whenever they move out for any tourist activity to protect their lives in case of any threat.
The borders of the park are surrounded by a patrol that keeps monitoring the park’s access points to ensure that there are no intruders in the park that can pose a threat to the tourists.
This park is quite safer than Virunga national park because it receives fewer visitors than Virunga making it a bit safer because terrorist activities usually prefer areas that have plenty of people.
