Day 2: Parc National des Volcans

An early start takes you to Kinigi to track in the Parc National des Volcans. The journey north goes through the beautiful terraced hillsides that characterise much of Rwanda’s landscape, gradually climbing to the base of the awesome volcanoes, sometimes with as many as five peaks visible. Tracking the gorillas through the forest requires patience and stamina, sometimes walking for a few hours in the mud and wet. Finally coming across them in the undergrowth though is an inspiring moment.
