About Volcanoes National Park
Lush Virunga volcanoes, mountain gorillas, and golden monkeys: Rwanda's flagship park and a conservation success story. The park is the setting of Gorillas in the Mist and continues Dian Fossey's legacy through the Karisoke Research Center. Permits are $1,500 and include one hour with the gorillas; golden monkey treks are a worthwhile add-on.
