Nestled within the Virunga Mountains in northwestern Rwanda, Volcanoes National Park is home to five majestic volcanoes: Karisimbi, Bisoke, Visoke, Muhabura, and Gahinga. Established in 1925 as Africa’s first national park, it was initially just 160 square kilometers. Today, the park is celebrated worldwide for its role as a sanctuary for endangered Mountain Gorillas and as a key research site for primatologist Dian Fossey.
