Nyiragongo Volcano trekking/ 2 Days
Climb the Nyiragongo volcano from Goma and camp for 1 nights on the rim of the giant crater of Nyiragongo volcano, above its Violently active lava lake . 
Lakes of hot lava are one of the most spectacular forms of volcanic activity, but they are very difficult to see because there’s only a few of them in the world at any given time. So, if you want to see a really impressive lava lake, you have only one option left: Nyiragongo.
Nyiragongo volcano located in the east of Congo DRC, at around 19kms from Goma. It’s the most active volcano in the world. In 1997 and 2002, flows of very liquid lava broke out from cracks in the slopes. They covered 17km to Goma in just a few minutes, killed dozens of people in refugee camps, and left hundreds of thousands homeless. The eruptions temporarily drained the lava lake in the summit crater; volcanic gases suffocated heather forest on the upper slopes. Now the forest is recovering, and the wildlife is coming back. The climb up to and down from Nyiragongo is strenuous and takes about 4-5 hours in often hot conditions, but the path is relatively easy and not excessively steep; there are a lot of rare birds and small mammals along the trail.
Equipements to Bring: Walking boots, a day-back pack, light dressing, Waterproof clothing, sun glasses, Warm Cloths and Ski poles for hiking.
Tariff
200$per person. the price includes Park entrance fee, guide, porter, tent, sleeping bag, coffe, and transport include.

OKAPI AND BAMBOUTI PYGMIES TOUR 8 DAYS
Day 1: Arrive at Kigali airport- you will be welcomed by our company safari guide who will transfer you to Goma in The Drc.
Day 2 - 3: Morning after break fast- Drive to Epulu via Butembo Road - Overnight at Hotel Butembo
Epulu is home to many okapis. Found only in the Congo, the okapi (Okapia johnstoni) is a shy and reclusive forest dweller and is the only living relative of the giraffe. Its unusual coloration and markings, including stripes resembling a zebra, provide camouflage in the dense rainforest and protect it from predators.
Day 4: After breakfast Visit of Okapi- after lunch trekking in the tropical forest- we will pass the night in Pygmies village in tentes.
The Bambuti pygmies, live in villages that are categorized as bands. Each hut houses a family unit. At the start of the dry season, they leave the village to enter the forest and set up a series of camps. This way the Bambuti are able to utilize more land area for maximum foraging. These villages are solitary and separated from other groups of people. Their houses are small, circular, and very temporary. The walls of the structures are poles that are placed in the ground. At the top of the poles a vine is woven to keep them together. Large leaves are also used in the construction of the huts.
Day 5: Go hunting with Pygmees. Back late in the afternoon at Epulu station. Overnight.
The Bambuti pygmies, are primarily hunter-gatherers, foraging for food in the forest. They have a vast knowledge of the forest and the foods it yields. The Bambuti use large nets, traps, and bows and arrows to hunt game. Women and children sometimes help out by trying to drive the animals into the nets. Both sexes gather and forage. Each band has its own hunting ground, although boundaries are hard to maintain. We should be able to follow such a group into the forest where, possibly taking our tents and camp near to their bands, we spend the night around the camp fire, listening to their endless hunting stories while they smoke their cannabis water pipes
Day 6 - 7: Back to Goma Via Beni and Butembo.
Day 8: Drive to Kigali and Transfer to the airport for departure flight.
