Volcanoes National Park

Home to the endangered mountain gorillas, Volcanoes National Park is Rwanda’s most famous park. It covers the Rwandan portion of the Virunga Mountains, a chain of extinct volcanoes. Visitors can trek to see gorillas, golden monkeys, and hike volcanic peaks like Mount Bisoke and Mount Karisimbi. The park is also known for its connection to Dian Fossey, the primatologist who studied gorillas here.
