VOLCANOES NP
Rwanda
Explore
Just a three hour drive from Kigali, Volcanoes National Park encompasses 160 km2 (60mi2) in a rich mosaic of montage ecosystems, with evergreen and bamboo forests. The national park includes five of the eight volcanoes in the Virunga Mountains, with Karisimbi being the highest at 4,507 m (14,785 ft). The lush slopes of these volcanoes provide a dramatic natural setting for one of the most thrilling and memorable wildlife experiences: seeing the mountain gorilla in its natural habitat. Roughly half of the world’s wild population of mountain gorillas reside on the Rwandan slopes of the Virungas massif. Gorilla trekking takes place from Volcanoes National Park headquarters where guests are allocated to one of the twelve habituated gorilla groups for a one-hour encounter. Or view the beautifully-coloured primate, GoldenMonkey, which is endemic to the area and lives in groups of between 30 to 80 individuals in the Park’s bamboo forest. Experience a guided visit to the nearby community and take in the dramatic views of the Bisoke and Karisimbi volcano peaks.
