Discover the striking Rwandan section of the Virungas Mountain Range. The luscious green Virungas comprises five volcanoes, and is among the most spectacular national parks in Africa. A true highlight of the park is the famous Mountain Gorilla, the peaks an optimum spot for a clear sighting. Find yourself just a few metres from a stately Silverback, or observe a group of young primates at play – these are experiences that will last a lifetime. Gorilla treks may last up to five hours (with a strictly limited period of one hour actually observing the gorillas) and are suitable for visitors aged fifteen years old and above. Please note that the terrain may be strenuous and muddy underfoot, and that permits to see the Mountain Gorillas are limited.
