Mountain Gorilla Trekking Rwanda

Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda's Virunga Mountains is where Dian Fossey conducted her pioneering gorilla research, immortalized in "Gorillas in the Mist." Today, the park protects approximately 340 mountain gorillas in 10 habituated groups available for trekking.

Rwanda's gorilla tracking is renowned for its accessibility and well-organized system. Treks typically range from one to four hours, with the volcanic terrain offering dramatic backdrops of bamboo forests, hagenia-hypericum woodlands, and sometimes the volcanic peaks themselves.

The experience of sitting with a gorilla family while they go about their daily activities - playing, grooming, eating, nursing - is profoundly moving. The intelligent, gentle nature of these great apes and their striking similarity to humans creates connections that last a lifetime.
