Volcanoes National Park was established as one of Africa’s first protected areas in 1925. Dian Fossey, the primatologist, carried out a biology study about mountain gorillas in this park until her death. Dian Fossey's findings about primates have led to the conservation of mountain gorilla trekking, which is Rwanda’s most famous tourist safari in Volcanoes National Park, which is situated in the northern part of Rwanda and a 2-3-hour drive from Kigali city.

Gorilla trekking

Mountain gorilla trekking is a must-do encounter while on a gorilla trekking safari in Rwanda. Volcanoes National Park offers 11 habituated mountain gorilla families. Only three countries in the world offer the endangered mountain gorilla population: The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda. Volcanoes National Park mountain gorilla families include Umubano, Amahoro, Ugenda, Karismbi, Hirwa, Sabinyo, and Susa, among others.

Gorilla trekking starts with a briefing at the park’s headquarters, followed by hiking into the mountain bamboo landscape. There are park rangers and guides in each group of trekkers who will take travelers to gorilla families allowed to them; the maximum number of trekkers per gorilla family is 8 people. Once the travelers have spotted the gorillas, you get to be with them for up to an hour, capturing photos, filming, and observing these wonderful creatures.
