Mountain Gorilla close up in Volcanoes

Embark on a once in a lifetime adventure to witness endangered Mountain Gorillas up close in Volcanoes National Park. This spectacular park encompasses five of the eight rainforest and bamboo covered volcanoes of the Virunga Mountains, home to fewer than 650 gorillas in the wild. Rwanda's conservation efforts have led to a slow but steady increase in the population.

After a briefing with National Parks personnel, begin your hike, which may take several hours. While no formal training is required, walking at altitude can be challenging, and navigating through dense bush demands focus and flexibility. Once you reach your assigned gorilla family, spend an unforgettable hour observing these majestic creatures interact, eat, groom, play, and even nap. This rare opportunity to connect with nature's giants will leave you with lifelong memories.
