Parc National des Volcans, also known as Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda, is one of Africa’s most famous wildlife reserves and a top destination for gorilla trekking. Follow in the steps of famed conservationist and primatologist Dian Fossey as you track gorillas through their natural habitat in these mountains. Near the Virunga Mountains, the park is home to approximately 12 habituated mountain gorilla families, which visitors can observe on guided treks. These endangered gorillas live in dense bamboo forests surrounded by volcanic peaks. Tourists can also track playful golden monkeys, hike Mount Bisoke for stunning crater lake views, or visit the Karisoke Research Center founded by Dian Fossey.
