Discover Rwanda’s Greatest Natural Treasure with Universal Ventures Rwanda

Located in the misty Virunga Mountains in northwestern Rwanda, Volcanoes National Park is a sanctuary of natural beauty and biodiversity. Famous for being one of the last remaining homes of the endangered mountain gorillas, this park is a must-visit destination for any wildlife enthusiast or adventure traveler.

A Gorilla Trekking Haven, Volcanoes national park

Volcanoes National Park is one of only three places in the world where visitors can observe mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Trekking through dense bamboo forests and climbing volcanic slopes offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to come face to face with these gentle giants. The experience is humbling, emotional, and transformative—often described as one of the greatest wildlife encounters on Earth.

Each gorilla trekking group is limited to eight people, and visits are tightly regulated to protect the animals. However, this exclusivity makes the journey even more intimate and unforgettable.

More Than Just Gorillas

While gorilla trekking is the main attraction, Volcanoes National Park offers more than primate encounters. The park is home to:

• Golden monkeys

• Forest elephants

• Numerous bird species

• Lush volcanoes like Mount Karisimbi and Mount Bisoke

For those looking to hike, a trek to Dian Fossey’s tomb or the crater lake at the summit of Mount Bisoke adds depth and perspective to your trip.
