Rwanda is a tiny country and one of the most densely populated on earth. It is a mountainous, green land located near
the Equator and home to over 670 bird and 100 orchid species - a paradise for bird watchers
and botanists. The majority of tourism is
focused on a visit to the Parc National des Volcans in the north. Within its confines are 6 volcanoes and hundreds of mountain gorillas.
An encounter with a silver-back
alpha male gorilla, 3 times your size, can be a hair-raising experience and one you will never forget! |
