Вот письмо от компании, работающей в Конго. Суть такова: парки закрыты для посещения из-за неспокойной обстановки там.
Строители социализма или партизаны - живут теперь с гориллами дружно на заросших тропическим лесом горах. Пока их оттуда не выкурят - парки будут закрыты.
Но есть вариант, который предлагается туристическими фирмами и отдельными гражданами по проходу на место. По партизански (на самом деле это лишь повод для того, чтоб вы предоплатили тур)
Скажу честно: гориллы миролюбивые, а их ближайшие родственники - отнюдь нет. Они любят изнасилования не только белых женщин, но и мужчин. Причём делают судя по прессе - бамбуком.
Ну и под занавес:
Dear Sergey,
I cannot help you.
1. The only entrypoints who are allowed to give bordervisa are Goma and Bunagana, on condition you have trackingpermits for Gorilla or volcano in Virunga.
2. The Virunga Park is closed due a muteny and insecurity around the Gorilla area of Bukima and Djomba. So no tracking permits
3. Even if you had a visa, I need min. two days to get one of our guides out of Goma to you.
4. The DRC embassy's in Bujumbura and Kigali are not allowed to deliver visa to non residents.
I see no solution. Honestly
Don't get you ripped off with people who promise to help at the border.
I have seen it several times in Goma in the past before they started with the Virunga regulation.
Sorry, man.
Regards,
