THIS REGION, WITH ITS DENSE FORESTS AND MAGICAL MOUNTAINS, IS RENOWNED FOR GORILLA TREKKING AND VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK IS THE PLACE TO DO IT. THIS UNRIVALLED ATTRACTION IS DESTINED FOR DETERMINED ADVENTURERS AS THE TERRAIN IS TOUGH TO TRAVERSE. FAMILIES OF HABITUATED MOUNTAIN GORILLAS SHARE THE PARK WITH PRIMATES, BIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES.
There are various walks, hikes and trekking tours to choose from. Hike to the tomb of primatologist Dian Fossey;
obtain a permit for trekking golden monkeys, another endangered species; embark on a 2-day trek to Mount Karisimbi; take a guided community walk to Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village for traditional dancing, beer brewed from bananas and a visit to a local healer. It all depends on what you wish to encounter and the challenges you seek in this northern part of Rwanda with its chain of volcanoes. Primates, hogs, forest elephants, hundreds of bird species and the fifth highest mountain in Africa await.
