Transfer from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park

After meeting your tour guide with a 4x4 safari vehicle at your hotel in Kigali, you'll visit the Kigali Genocide Museum to pay respects to the victims of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide against the Tutsi.

Then you'll depart the lively capital and journey northwest for about 2.5 hours through picturesque, rolling hills and busy market towns to reach the breathtaking Volcanoes National Park. This is the site of Dian Fossey's groundbreaking mountain gorilla research.
