Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

Volcanoes National Park is Rwanda’s most iconic wildlife destination and the heart of Musanze tourism. Nestled within the misty Virunga Mountains, this lush rainforest sanctuary is world-renowned for its mountain gorillas, rare golden monkeys, dramatic volcanic peaks, and rich biodiversity. As one of Africa’s oldest national parks, it stands as a global symbol of conservation success and sustainable tourism in Rwanda.

Best known for gorilla trekking in Rwanda, the park offers visitors a once-in-a-lifetime chance to observe a mountain gorilla family up close in their natural habitat. Spending an hour with these gentle giants—watching them play, feed, and care for their young—is an emotional and transformative experience that stays with travelers forever.

Beyond the gorillas, Volcanoes National Park offers a range of unforgettable adventures, including:

• Golden Monkey Tracking

• Mount Bisoke Crater Lakel, Mount Karisimbi, Mount Sabyinyo, Mount Muhabura and Mount Gahinga Hike

• Dian Fossey Tomb & Research Center Trek

• Guided Nature Walks and Cultural Experiences

What makes Volcanoes National Park truly unique is its close connection with surrounding communities. Local families, women’s cooperatives, and cultural groups like Gorilla Guardians Village play a vital role in conservation while sharing Rwanda’s heritage through dance, music, crafts, and storytelling. Every visit contributes to community development and wildlife protection.
