About this tour
Two treks from one luxurious base: a mountain gorilla family one morning, a troop of endangered golden monkeys — found only in these volcanoes — the next. In between you canoe the Twin Lakes beneath Sabyinyo's jagged crown and walk the trail to Dian Fossey's Karisoke research camp, the place where gorilla conservation began.
Staying four nights in one lodge is the quiet luxury of this itinerary. No repacking, no transfer days; just the volcanoes at breakfast and a different corner of the park each morning. It suits travellers who want Volcanoes National Park in full, not as a single-trek stopover.
