Volcanoes National Park

Rwanda’s mountain gorillas, on the forested slopes of the Virunga volcanoes.

Muhtasari

Volcanoes National Park covers the Rwandan flank of the Virunga range, five extinct volcanoes rising above bamboo forest on the border with Uganda and the DRC. It is the park Dian Fossey worked in, and it remains the most straightforward place in the world to see mountain gorillas: Kigali is two to three hours away on good tarmac, which makes a gorilla trek feasible in a long weekend. Twelve habituated gorilla families are open to visitors, eight people per family per day. A permit costs US$1,500 for a foreign non-resident in 2026 — the highest anywhere, and a deliberate choice by Rwanda to keep visitor numbers low. Golden monkey tracking, the hike to Dian Fossey’s tomb and the climb up Mount Bisoke are all available at a fraction of that. The trek itself is demanding rather than technical: steep, wet ground between 2,500 m and 3,000 m, and anywhere from half an hour to six hours of walking each way before you find the family.

Mambo ya kufanya Volcanoes National Park

Maeneo na matukio badala ya kampuni. Kila moja lina kile ambacho ungekigundua ukifika tu.

  • Gorilla trekking

    Wanyamapori

    Ten habituated families on the Rwandan side of the Virungas.

    US$1,500 a permit, roughly twice Uganda’s, for shorter walks at gentler gradients and a two-hour drive from Kigali rather than a day. Which is better value depends entirely on how much walking you want to do.

  • Golden monkey tracking

    Wanyamapori

    Bamboo-forest monkeys found only in the Virungas and Nyungwe.

    A fifth of the gorilla permit price and an easier walk. Often done on the day after a gorilla trek, when legs are still recovering.

    Saa 4Kwa malipo

  • Dian Fossey tomb hike

    Historia

    The walk to Karisoke, where she worked and is buried beside Digit.

    Three to four hours of steep, muddy climbing and no gorillas guaranteed. Go for the history, not the wildlife.

Mbadala tulivu wa Volcanoes National Park

Volcanoes National Park iko kwenye karibu kila ratiba, na ndiyo sababu ni nzuri na pia ndiyo sababu ina watu wengi. Haya ni maeneo ambayo wasafiri huchagua wanapotaka kitu kile kile na magari machache — kila moja na gharama yake ya kwenda huko badala yake.

  • Nyungwe Forest National Park

    Montane rainforest with chimpanzees, thirteen primate species and a canopy walk suspended sixty metres above the valley floor. Permits cost a fraction of a gorilla permit.

    Gharama yake: Chimp tracking is nothing like gorilla trekking: the animals move fast and high, and plenty of groups come back having heard far more than they saw. It is a long drive from Kigali, and it rains.
