Volcanoes National Park Gorilla Tours offer one of the most extraordinary wildlife experiences in Africa – tracking endangered mountain gorillas in their natural rainforest habitat. Located in northwestern Rwanda, Volcanoes National Park is part of the Virunga Conservation Area and is famous for its mist-covered volcanoes and rich biodiversity.
These tours begin with a briefing by park rangers before trekking through bamboo forests and volcanic slopes to locate a habituated gorilla family. Once found, visitors are allowed one unforgettable hour to observe and photograph the gorillas as they interact, feed, and care for their young.
Gorilla tours can also include golden monkey trekking, nature walks, cultural village visits, and hikes to Dian Fossey’s tomb. Thanks to Rwanda’s well-maintained roads, the park is easily accessible from Kigali within a few hours.
