RWANDA-GORILLA TRACKING SAFARI

Nestled just south of the equator, Rwanda is commonly known as ‘The Land of a Thousand Hills’ and mystifies with its undulating luscious mountains and chain of seven volcanoes that punctuate Central Africa’s landscape. Since its dark days of the Genocide, Rwanda has become a shining example of stability, peace and unstoppable progress. Building upon a culture of remembrance, forgiveness and learning, Rwanda is a beacon of inspiration for the world. Rwanda is a surprising and breathtakingly beautiful country with the misty mountains of Volcanoes National Park serving as home for the endangered Mountain Gorillas. Volcanoes National Park lies in northwestern Rwanda and borders Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda. The national park is known as a haven for the rare and endangered mountain gorilla and golden monkeys. It is home to five of the eight volcanoes of the Virunga Mountains (Karisimbi, Bisoke, Muhabura, Gahinga and Sabyinyo), and spans 160 Sq Km covered in rainforest and bamboo. The park is best known for the Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) and tracking these endangered creatures is an experience of a lifetime!
