Coming face to face with a Mountain Gorilla is one of Africa’s most exciting wildlife experiences. Gaining an insight into the behaviour and family dynamics of one of the world’s rarest primates is nothing short of captivating.
After trekking for Gorillas, spend an evening exploring the Virunga Mountains. They are a chain of eight volcanoes running along the borders of Congo, Rwanda and Uganda, seven of which are found in the Virunga National Park and only two are active – Mount Nyamuragira and Mount Nyiragongo.
