Located on the border of eastern Rwanda, Volcanoes National Park forms part of the Virunga Mountains range, which spans through Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Uganda. A luxury vacation to Volcanoes National Park offers access to the country's famous gorilla population.
The Best of Volcanoes National Park
The park is vast – stretching over three countries in total, although Rwanda offers the most easily accessible entrance. It’s a UNESCO-certified area, and one of the largest preservations for the endangered mountain gorilla. Poaching was a huge endemic until protective measures were set up to keep these stunning animals safe. Fortunately, the government and other non-profit organisations now work to ensure that the park remains free from destructive human influence.
There is endless wonder within the Volcanoes National Park – from the wildlife and gorilla tours to the panoramic views of true African wilderness to rugged trekking to unforgettable starry nights!
As well as mind-boggling biological diversity, the park’s jaw-dropping geography includes Africa’s most powerful and active volcano range. Sitting directly on top of the Albertine Rift of the Great Rift Valley, a collection of eight volcanoes, two of which are active provide a quite astonishing backdrop – complete with occasional flowing lava in the southern most range.
