Volcanoes Park is the Rwandan section of the great volcanic massif called the Virunga Mountains that straddles the borders of Rwanda, Uganda and the DRC. The massif covers a huge area of over 8,000km², encompassing six active and three extinct volcanoes. There is no other wildlife experience quite like an encounter with mountain gorillas. That precious hour spent in their company — watching the group playing, sulking, teasing each other, eating, or dozing just like we do — is extraordinary. After this exciting experience, return to your hotel in time for lunch. The afternoon will be spent at leisure to rest or if it is possible, visit the twin lakes of Ruhondo and Burera. Later on, return to the lodge in the evening for dinner and your overnight stay.
