Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda is a stunning conservation area renowned for its impressive volcanic landscapes and as a sanctuary for the critically endangered mountain gorillas. Located in the northwest of the country, the park spans approximately 160 square kilometers and is part of the larger Virunga Massif, which straddles the borders of Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is home to five of the eight volcanoes in the Virunga range: Karisimbi, Bisoke, Muhabura, Gahinga, and Sabyinyo. The park offers visitors unique wildlife experiences including guided gorilla trekking, where they can observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
