Mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National park are a must-visit on every Rwanda safari.

This saw many budget travelers divert to doing Kigali to Bwindi gorilla trekking, which is quite affordable. The major reason for the increment of Rwanda gorilla permits was to promote gorilla conservation and improve the livelihoods of local people in local communities neighboring Volcanoes National park. In addition to gorillas, RDB is also marketing golden monkeys also in Volcanoes National park. Travelers are encouraged to come and visit golden monkeys for a lively memorable experience.
