In the heart of Central Africa, great old volcanoes tower almost 15,000 feet, nearly covered with rich green rainforest - the Virungas. Volcanoes National Park is where Dian Fossey pioneered gorilla conservation.
Guided treks bring visitors face to face with habituated mountain gorilla families amid bamboo and hagenia forest on the slopes of Bisoke, Karisimbi and other dormant peaks.
Golden monkey tracking, visits to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and hikes to crater lakes reward travellers who extend their stay beyond the iconic gorilla encounter.
