Volcanoes national park which is 3hrs away from Kigali city is Rwanda’s top safari destination for gorilla trekking with an estimated population of over 300 mountain gorillas leaving in their natural habitat in the parks tropical rain forest.
The 160km area size of the park is not only a home to the endangered mountain gorillas but it’s a home to the Golden monkeys and it’s also where the renowned primatologist Dian Fossey set up her Research laboratory to study more about the mountain gorillas.
Though her operations came to stand still on December 26 1985 when she brutally murdered by unknown poachers in volcanoes national park but this didn’t mark the end of Dian efforts to stop gorilla conservation as the Organisations set up by Dian Fossey continued with the help the Rwandan government through tourism and other donors who continued funding the Karisoke Gorilla Research Laboratory through the Dian fossey gorilla fund.
