In between, relax in the comfort of your camp, indulging in exquisite cuisine and warm hospitality. A perfect start to your Rwanda adventure!
Visiting the Mountain Gorillas
In northern Rwanda, Volcanoes National Park awaits—a land of misty forests and extinct volcanoes, home to the fascinating mountain gorillas. After a scenic drive through rolling green hills and tea plantations, you’ll arrive in Musanze, the perfect base for your adventure. The highlight: gorilla trekking.
