Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park is home to nearly 300 mountain gorillas, representing about 50% of the world's remaining population. The park's volcanic landscape provides stunning backdrop to unforgettable gorilla encounters.
Gorilla trekking in Rwanda's Volcanoes is considered the world's best gorilla experience due to the gorillas' habituation level and the park's accessibility. The trek combines physical challenge with profound emotional reward.
Beyond gorillas, the park offers golden monkey tracking, crater lakes, and spectacular mountain views. Lake Kivu provides relaxation after mountain activities.
