Gran Tour de Garamba - Safari con todo incluido en el Parque Nacional de Garamba, República Democrática del Congo

Fauna exclusiva de la República Democrática del Congo, como la jirafa congoleña, además de elefantes, leones, leopardos, cocodrilos del Nilo, hipopótamos y mucho más. A mucha gente le sorprende encontrar un parque tan hermoso en la República Democrática del Congo con tanta fauna legendaria de caza mayor africana. Garamba es también el único ejemplar conocido en el mundo y en la historia de elefantes africanos domesticados (los únicos elefantes domesticados del mundo han sido elefantes asiáticos en el resto del mundo). Garamba es (o al menos fue) el hogar de la última población salvaje conocida de rinocerontes blancos del norte. Es uno de los parques más hermosos del continente africano y uno de los más antiguos.
