Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park is one of Africa's most spectacular destinations, combining mountain gorilla trekking with volcanic landscapes. The park encompasses the Virunga Mountains - a chain of dormant and active volcanoes. Over 480 mountain gorillas live here in habituated and wild groups. Unlike Uganda's larger Bwindi Forest, Volcanoes National Park is more accessible with shorter trek times for some groups. The combination of gorilla trekking, golden monkey trekking, and mountain hiking creates a diverse experience. Rwanda's conservation efforts have been remarkably successful, with gorilla populations increasing over recent decades. The park offers excellent infrastructure with quality lodges and experienced guides. Visiting Volcanoes National Park directly supports local communities and conservation initiatives.
