D.R. Congo is one of the world’s richest nations in minerals and tourist attractions but remains the least explored. Our 3-day Bonobo Chimpanzee Trekking in DRC introduces you deep into the Congo jungles to search for the rare bonobo chimpanzees. These apes are endemic to the Congo Basin and are almost the same size as common chimpanzees.
