There is a saying in Rwanda, "God roams the world but comes to rest in Rwanda."
And so do 700+ mountain gorillas (over half of the surviving species in the world) who call Volcanoes National Park their home. This is a stunning area surrounded to the southwest by the Nyungwe Forest (the largest montane rainforest in the area) where Colobus Monkeys and 250 species of birds thrive, to the east by the magnificent Akagera National Park, and to the west by the picturesque islands of Lake Kivu.
Imagine yourself trekking through the undergrowth of a spectacular rainforest in search of a family of mountain gorillas. There are a maximum 8 people in your group including yourself and you are with naturalists, forest guides and porters. These are Rwandans and they are committed to the conservation and preservation of this national park and all of its magical creatures.
