Parc
National Volcans was designated national park status in 1925 and protects
the Rwandan portion of the Virunga Mountains, a range of six extinct and
three active volcanoes that forms the border with Uganda and the
Democratic Republic of Congo. Sitting between 3474m and 4507m altitude,
the park is home to over half of the regions surviving 700 mountain
gorillas. In addition to gorilla tracking, a network of trails transect
the park, varying from gentle day walks to challenging overnight trails to
the higher peaks of the Virungas. The park is also home to the Golden
Monkey, a beautiful and distinctive bamboo-associated race of the blue
monkey, endemic to the Albertine Rift.
