Virunga National Park — Africa's oldest protected area — offers the most affordable mountain gorilla trekking on the continent. The $400 permit (vs $800 Uganda, $1,500 Rwanda) makes this accessible to more adventurous travellers.
The experience is raw and authentic — trek through dense forest with armed rangers until you locate a habituated family. The one-hour encounter is just as profound as in Rwanda or Uganda, with the added thrill of the frontier setting.
