Volcanoes National Park truly is a beautiful location in East Africa and one of the premier tourist draws in Rwanda, especially for Gorilla Tracking. If you’ve come this far for exactly that reason then you won’t be disappointed, but for those without the extravagant amounts of money necessary to partake then don’t fear. There’s still plenty on offer in the national park, especially if you like hiking. The Bisoke Volcano Hike isn’t an amazing experience as hikes go, but it does allow the opportunity to enter into the mountain gorilla’s habitat, and what a habitat it is. It is quite the shame that humans have encroached so close to the base of the Virunga volcanoes in both Rwanda and Uganda, leaving these fascinating mountain gorillas very little choice as to whether or not they are ‘tracked’ by 80-sum visitors daily. Nevertheless, whether you visit now or visit when you are old and rich, you’ll undoubtedly be touched by your experience in the Volcanoes National Park.

Top Tips
As a budget traveller, the park is best accessed from the town of Ruhengeri about 45 minutes away. Or, you can choose to stay right on its doorstep in Kinigi.
Most activities require a 45-minute drive from the park office, and so having to hire a private vehicle bumps up the already prohibitive costs even further.
