Feel inspired by Rwanda Gorilla Safaris. Make a remarkable visit to Volcanoes National Park to encounter the Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda. The Volcanoes National Park is the Rwandan section of the great volcanic massif called the Virunga Mountains that straddles the borders of Rwanda, Uganda and the DRC. In this section of Rwanda Gorilla Safaris will give a life time memorable experience. Spend the most prestigious hour with the gentle giants in mist cover, learn about a gorilla family on one of our Rwanda Gorilla Safaris, this is led by a Silverback.
These troops also include several younger males, adult and juvenile females, and infants. In addition to providing protection to group members, Silverbacks maintain order and decide all activities within their troop. They schedule feeding trips, resting time, and travel. They also father the majority of the young in the group. The high point will be spending an hour with the remarkably peaceful gorillas despite their size and appearance as they go about their daily life, feeding, playing, resting and raising their young.
Volcanoes National Park Rwanda is now home to twelve habituated groups of mountain gorillas that are scattered all over Volcanoes National Park. Each of the Gorilla families is so amazing and exciting to track. Many of the guests that have tracked gorillas in Rwanda have also opted to track gorillas in Uganda. Uganda is also well known for the presence of the Mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Forest National Park and Mgahinga National Park bordering Rwanda.
Not only Gorillas are found in Volcanoes National Park, plan a day to meet the golden monkeys on a golden monkey trek in Rwanda, this is another exciting moment in life. This is a local subspecies of the widespread Sykes Monkey, also known as the “Blue Monkey” and is endemic to the high altitude forests. The monkeys are playful and inquisitive and often spend their time leaping from bamboo branches or frolicking on the forest floor.
