Why Volcanoes Park
Volcanoes National Park is one of Africa's most remarkable wildlife destinations, a landscape of mist-covered rainforest and towering volcanic peaks where the rare mountain gorilla continues to thrive. Set within Rwanda's section of the Virunga Mountains, the park offers an experience that is as moving as it is unforgettable.
Gorilla trekking is the reason most visitors come, providing the rare opportunity to spend time in the presence of one of the world's most endangered and captivating animals. Following experienced guides through dense forest to reach a habituated family group is an experience that remains with many travellers long after they leave Rwanda.
Yet the park offers far more than gorillas alone. Golden monkey tracking, scenic hiking trails and dramatic volcanic landscapes reveal a region rich in biodiversity and natural beauty. Luxury lodges and exclusive retreats tucked into the foothills of the Virungas provide exceptional places to stay, creating a destination that delivers one of the most rewarding wildlife experiences anywhere in the world.
