The Eastern Lowland Gorilla (Grauer's Gorilla) is the largest living primate — adult males can weigh over 200kg. Found only in the eastern DRC, this critically endangered species numbers fewer than 3,800 in the wild.
Kahuzi-Biéga National Park near Bukavu offers rare trekking encounters with habituated lowland gorilla families. The experience is raw, the forest is dense, and the gorillas are extraordinary.
