Volcanoes National Park

Verdorosafarisuganda invites you to explore one of the most spectacular destinations in our portfolio – Volcanoes National Park. Nestled in the lush mountains of northwestern Rwanda, this park offers an unforgettable adventure for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, and thrill-seekers alike.

Discover the Beauty of Volcanoes National Park

Volcanoes National Park is a breathtaking expanse of lush rainforest, towering volcanoes, and diverse wildlife. Covering an area of 160 square kilometers, the park is part of the larger Virunga Conservation Area, which spans the borders of Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The park is renowned for its rich biodiversity, stunning landscapes, and, most notably, its population of endangered mountain gorillas.

Gorilla Trekking

The highlight of any visit to Volcanoes National Park is undoubtedly the chance to experience gorilla trekking. Home to several habituated gorilla families, the park offers an extraordinary opportunity to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Led by experienced guides, you will embark on a trek through dense forests, navigating steep slopes and rugged terrain to reach the gorillas. The moment you encounter a gorilla family is indescribable – a rare and intimate connection with one of the world’s most remarkable species.

Other Wildlife Encounters

While gorilla trekking is the park’s main attraction, Volcanoes National Park is also home to a variety of other wildlife. Keep an eye out for golden monkeys, bushbucks, and a plethora of bird species as you explore the park’s diverse ecosystems. The park’s flora is equally impressive, with dense bamboo forests, open grasslands, and an array of unique plant species.

Hiking the Volcanoes

For those with a spirit of adventure, Volcanoes National Park offers exhilarating hiking opportunities. The park is named after the five volcanoes that dominate its landscape: Karisimbi, Bisoke, Sabyinyo, Gahinga, and Muhabura. Each of these volcanoes presents a unique challenge and offers stunning panoramic views from their summits. Whether you choose to hike the highest peak, Mount Karisimbi, or opt for the shorter trek up Mount Bisoke, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking vistas and a profound sense of accomplishment.
