Our 3 Days Lowland Gorilla Trekking in DRC tour in the Democratic Republic of the Congo will take you to the Kahuzi Beiga National Park in the eastern portion of the country. The only difference between lowland and mountain gorillas is that the former are found only in lowland regions. They have brown skin and less fur than a mountain gorilla. Out of all the gorilla species found worldwide, the eastern lowland gorilla is thought to be the largest.
