Overview – Volcanoes National Park

Volcanoes National Park sits in northwestern Rwanda around the Virunga volcanoes. Here is why visitors flock: it protects rainforest high-altitude habitat, offers one of few places to see mountain gorillas, and provides trekking trails through bamboo and rainforest terrain. Let’s break it down. Multiple habituated gorilla families make it possible to trek with guides. The park includes volcanic peaks and is part of a regional conservation area. Next steps: secure gorilla permits early, plan transport via Musanze.
