Volcanoes National Park, situated in the northwest of Rwanda, is renowned as the home of the endangered mountain gorillas. It offers the rare opportunity to trek through misty bamboo forests to observe these majestic primates in their natural habitat. The park is part of the larger Virunga Massif, a volcanic range shared with Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and it’s also home to golden monkeys, forest elephants, and a rich variety of bird species. Volcanoes National Park’s dramatic scenery and profound wildlife experiences make it one of the most important conservation areas in the world.
