Volcanoes National Park
Volcanoes National park, or Parc National De Volcans is a game park in Rwanda famous for its mountain Gorillas what is dubbed Rwanda gorilla trekking . The park was reserved way back in 1925 as a way of putting an end to poaching activities which had for long threatened the continued existence of the already endangered mountain gorillas and to promote gorilla tours in Rwanda.
Consisting of 8 continuous volcanoes, the landscape in Volcanoes is quite impressive, making it popular for many activities including hiking. The park is easy to access with just a 2 hour drive from the Kigali airport or just a 1 hour flight.
