It includes poignant displays of victims photographs and belongings, bringing the realities of the atrocities to life. While it might seem an unusual tourist attraction and can be upsetting, it does help to put into context how and why the genocide happened and to better appreciate just how far the country has moved on together in the intervening years.

Early breakfast at the lodge and then transfer to the park headquarters in time for briefing at 07h00 before you start your guided Mountain Gorilla trek at 08h00.
There is no other wildlife experience quite like an encounter with mountain gorillas. That precious hour spent in their company – watching the group playing, sulking, teasing each other, eating, or dozing just like we do – is extraordinary. Rwanda is now home to twelve habituated groups of mountain gorillas that are scattered all over Volcanoes National Park.
Gorilla trekking can be arduous – some of the groups wander high up the mountainsides – but it is always utterly rewarding.
Volcanoes National Park also has a historic connection with gorilla conservation.

Return to the lodge in the evening. Relax and unwind. Dinner will follow. Overnight.
