Front Row Seat to Nature’s Greatest Spectacle.
Nestled in the northwestern region of Rwanda, Volcanoes National Park is a sanctuary for the endangered mountain gorillas and a cornerstone of African biodiversity. Established in 1925, it is Africa’s oldest national park, spanning approximately 160 square kilometers. It is home to five of the eight Virunga volcanoes—Karisimbi, Bisoke, Muhabura, Gahinga, and Sabyinyo—offering breathtaking landscapes and diverse ecosystems ranging from bamboo forests to open grasslands.
The park is globally renowned for its exceptional gorilla trekking experiences, allowing visitors to encounter one of the world’s rarest primates in their natural habitat. Other attractions include golden monkey tracking, birdwatching, and challenging hikes to volcanic peaks.
Conservation is at the heart of Volcanoes National Park. Rwanda has launched a landmark expansion project, increasing the park’s size by 23% to provide more habitat for wildlife and promote ecological balance. Reforestation and biodiversity monitoring initiatives ensure the sustainability of this rich ecosystem, while revenue-sharing programs and community-led projects enhance local livelihoods and foster human-wildlife coexistence.
Easily accessible from Kigali, just a two-hour drive away, the destination offers world-class tourism infrastructure, with accommodations catering to every preference. Whether you seek adventure, wildlife encounters, or a deeper appreciation of conservation, this extraordinary park promises an unforgettable experience in the heart of Africa.
