Volcanoes National Park

Allow Mammoth Safaris to show you some Mountain Gorillas in the mist in their home in this incredible natural expanse of Rwanda!  The Volcanoes National Park or Parc National des Volcans lies in northwestern Rwanda and borders Virunga National Park (home to the largest lava lake in the world) in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda. This national park a haven for the Mountain Gorilla and is also home to five of the eight extinct volcanoes of the Virunga Mountains, which are covered in rainforest and bamboo. The park was the base for the zoologist Dian Fossey, who brought the plight of the gorillas to the fore with her research and the subsequent film “Gorillas in the mist”, and we invite you to share in this epic story and be a part of the efforts to ensure that the magnificent Mountain Gorillas survive.  Exploring this part of Africa is really best done in the company of a skilled and experienced private guide and we will always recommend this option as a way to make the most of your Central African adventure.
