Volcanoes National Park
Volcanoes National Park is an earthly paradise with enormous trees, bamboo and tropical forest, as well as marshlands. Found within three hour’s drive from Kigali International airport. It is the most popular sanctuary for Mountain Gorilla tracking of the four mountain gorilla parks in the Greater Virunga Region. Why? The gorillas in it are offspring of a generation that Dian Fossey personally mothered. In case that name doesn’t ring a bell, Fossey is the American zoologist. She spearheaded a spirited conservation campaign of the Rwanda’s Gorillas starting 1960’s to 1985 when she was murdered by poachers. She was laid to rest next to the grave of her favourite Gorilla called Digit at Karisoke Gorilla Research Centre, an institution she founded.
