Volcanoes National Park Surrounding Beauties

In the heart of Central Africa so high up that you shiver more than you sweat explained the Primatologists Dian Fossey. She continued that are the great Volcanoes towering up almost 15000feet, and nearly covered with green rainforest. The mighty Virunga situated in the far Northwester of Rwanda, the Parc des Volcans protects the steep slopes of this magnificent mountain range- home of the rare mountain gorillas and the mosaic of montane ecosystem which embraces evergreen and bamboo forest, open grassland swamp and health.

A breathtaking trek through the cultivated foothills of the Virungas offers stirring views in all directions. Then, abruptly, the trail enters the national park, immersing trekkers in the mysterious intimacy of the forest, alive with the calls of colorful birds and chattering of the golden monkeys and littered with fresh spoor of the mountains’ elusive populations of buffalos and elephants. Through gaps in the forest canopy, the magnificent peaks are glimpse, easy accessible and among the highest in Africa beckoning an ascent.
