Muraho Travelers,
This week, we’re headed somewhere that stirs the soul and leaves a mark long after you’ve returned home: Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda.
Tucked in the misty highlands of northern Rwanda, this park is more than just a nature reserve—it’s a sanctuary of awe and connection. Here, among towering bamboo forests and ancient volcanic peaks, you’ll find one of the most profound wildlife experiences on Earth: trekking with mountain gorillas.
Imagine hiking through lush jungle, the air thick with birdsong and mist, when suddenly you come upon a family of critically endangered mountain gorillas, lounging in the undergrowth or gently grooming one another. It’s raw. It’s humbling. It’s unforgettable.
But Volcanoes National Park is more than gorilla encounters:
- Mount Karisimbi or Mount Bisoke for panoramic views and crater lakes.
- Spot playful golden monkeys, unique to this region.
- Visit the site of Dian Fossey’s research center, where one woman’s passion helped save a species.
🇷🇼 Why Rwanda?
Rwanda is often called the Land of a Thousand Hills, but it’s also a land of a thousand stories—of strength, resilience, and renewal. From the clean, cosmopolitan streets of Kigali to the peaceful beauty of Lake Kivu, Rwanda invites you to see Africa through a new lens: vibrant, safe, and full of life.
Happy Travels!
