What's this trip about?

    Enjoy an adventurous mountain gorilla trekking experience and wildlife viewing while on a 6 Days Rwanda Wildlife and Gorilla safari. This safari takes you into exploring two national parks including Volcanoes national park that is known as home to the endangered mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Volcanoes national park is the only spot in Rwanda where gorilla trekking safari takes place due to the fact that it is home to a sizeable number of the remaining gorillas in the world second to Bwindi Impenetrable national park with the largest population of mountain gorillas in the wild.

And primate species like Vervet monkeys, olive baboons, blue monkeys, and bush babies.
