Volcanoes National Park is home to around twelve habituated mountain gorilla families, part of the 1,000 mountain gorillas left in the wild, thanks to conservation efforts across Rwanda, Uganda, and the DRC. With only 96 permits issued daily, we encourage you to book in advance and prepare for hikes that may reach altitudes of 4,000m. Gorilla tourism significantly benefits local communities by funding schools, health centers, and local communities. Book your Gorilla trekking trip with Hyperlocal.
