- Volcanoes National Park – Mountain Gorilla Trek

(While Rwanda offers a plethora of experiences, gorilla tracking primarily takes place in Volcanoes National Park. The government’s focus on conservation ensures that these treks are limited to ensure the well-being of these incredible creatures. Therefore, rather than spreading the treks thin across various locations, Rwanda’s efforts center on offering a world-class experience in one iconic destination.)
