Volcanoes National Park

Overview

Volcanoes National Park – Rwanda’s Pristine Gorilla Kingdom

Just a few hours from Kigali, the winding roads climb through misty mountains and emerald hillsides where golden monkeys play and silverback gorillas roam  welcome to Volcanoes National Park. Often called the crown jewel of Rwanda’s wildlife, this park offers an intimate, luxurious safari experience like nowhere else in Africa. With Camptrek Safaris, your journey into this volcanic landscape becomes seamless, blending private tracking permits, expertly guided treks, and elegant lodges nestled in the hills.

The park is renowned for its mountain gorilla population, one of the few places on Earth to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat. Trekking through dense bamboo forests and mist-laden slopes, guests also encounter golden monkeys, buffalo, and a variety of endemic birds, making every excursion a feast for nature lovers.

Luxury here means comfort without compromise: boutique lodges like Bisate Lodge offer sweeping views of the Virunga volcanoes, fine dining, and impeccable service. Camptrek Safaris ensures every permit, guide, and experience is curated to create a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
