Seeing these gorillas in their natural habitat, just a few meters away, is a profoundly moving experience that visitors will cherish. Beyond gorilla trekking, visitors can explore other captivating features within the park. This includes the chance to trek to the summit of Mount Bisoke, where they’ll witness a spectacular crater lake at the top.

About Kigali
Kigali is Rwanda's capital, a tidy city on green hills in the middle of the country, with memorials, craft markets and routes to gorilla country.
Kigali spreads across several hills in the heart of Rwanda, at about 1,500 metres, so the air is mild all year. The Kigali Genocide Memorial tells the story of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and honours those buried there. The Kandt House Museum holds natural history displays in the house of the German colonial resident Richard Kandt, and the Inema Arts Centre shows contemporary Rwandan art.
