Virungas National Park, Rwanda

Lower Slopes of the Virunga Mountains, Volcanoes National Park, Northern Rwanda

The stunning Virunga mountains which extend from north-west Rwanda into the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda are one of the country’s most precious natural resources. The montane forest of this landscape is the last home of the mountain gorilla (of which some 400 remain in Rwanda) and the entire national park is a site of international importance for its stunning biodiversity.
