PARK NATIONALE DES VOLCANS-RWANDA

Parc National des Volcans (PNV) consists of 125 Km2 of mountain forest and is home to the six Virunga Volcanoes and the world famous mountain gorillas. Parc National des Volcans is managed and protected by the Rwandan Office for Tourism and Rwanda National Parks (ORTPN).

Access begins in the lively town of Musanze 90 minute drive from Rwanda's capital city- kigali, it is situated at the base of the entrance of the park. Musanze has long been the base point for Rwanda gorilla visits and entertains a stunning backdrop of Karisimbi, Bisoke, Mikeno, Sabyinyo, Mgahinga and Muhabura volcanoes.
Protected within the PNV, the lushly forested slopes of the mountains form an appropriately dramatic natural setting for what is arguably the most memorable wildlife experience in the world: gorilla trekking /tracking. In addition the forest is alive with the calls of colourful birds and the chattering of rare golden monkey.

Nothing can prepare one for the impact of encountering a fully-grown silverback gorilla, up to three times the size of an average man, yet remarkably peaceable and tolerant of human visitors. Enquire>>>>
