Start your adventure with an early morning drive to the briefing station for gorilla tracking in Parc National des Volcans (Volcanoes National Park). Trek through the lush mountain forests of the Virungas in search of these magnificent creatures. Spending an hour observing the gorillas in their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience, a highlight for many travelers who come from around the world.
