Tucked away in the misty highlands of northwestern Rwanda, Volcanoes National Park is one of Africa’s most magical wilderness areas. Known for its lush rainforests, towering volcanic peaks, and rare mountain gorillas, it’s a destination that leaves every visitor in awe. And when you travel with Kurikayo Africa Adventures, you get to experience this incredible place in a way that is personal, immersive, and truly unforgettable.

A Land of Volcanoes and Legends

Volcanoes National Park is part of the great Virunga Massif, a chain of dramatic volcanic mountains shared by Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The park’s mist-covered slopes are home to some of the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas, as well as golden monkeys, forest elephants, and more than 200 bird species.

But it’s not just the wildlife that makes this park special—it’s the peaceful ambiance, the cool mountain air, and the feeling that you’ve stepped into a storybook landscape.

The Famous Gorilla Trekking Experience

Gorilla trekking is the highlight of any visit to Volcanoes National Park. Led by expert trackers, you hike through bamboo forests and Afro-montane jungle until you find yourself face-to-face with a gorilla family. Watching these gentle giants interact—feeding, grooming, playing—is an emotional and humbling moment.

With Kurikayo Africa Adventures, everything is handled smoothly: permits, guiding, transport, and local insights. Their guides know the trails well and make sure you trek at a comfortable pace.

Golden Monkey Tracking

While the gorillas steal the spotlight, golden monkeys are equally delightful to see. Their playful personalities and bright orange fur make for fantastic photo opportunities. Kurikayo’s guides help you spot them as they leap from branch to branch in the bamboo forest.

Hiking and Cultural Encounters

Volcanoes National Park also offers scenic hikes:

• Mount Bisoke Crater Lake Hike – a rewarding trek up a volcano with a beautiful crater lake at the top
• Dian Fossey Tomb Hike – a historical trail honoring the legendary primatologist
• Twin Lakes Visit – a peaceful stop with views over Lakes Burera and Ruhondo
