Volcanoes National Park
This 160km² national park protects the Rwandan sector of the Virunga Mountains, range of six extinct and three active volcanoes which straddles the borders with Uganda and the DRC. The Volcanoes National Park (PNV) is a natural habitat to about 300 rare mountain gorillas that was made famous in the 1980s by the work of Diane Fossey. This gorilla park includes a mountain lodge in the ‘Condé Nast Hot List’.
Itinerary Planning
Gather information and get your gorilla-viewing permits from the ORTPN. It is sensible not to rush off to the gorillas immediately; take a few days to get the feel of the country and to acclimatize.
