Volcanoes NP - Gorilla action

Gorilla portrait

We arranged a last minute trip to see the gorillas as we were leaving Rwanda permanently.  It had been raining heavily the last month or so over December, but after checking the weather report for early January, it seemed as though we may get a break in the rain to visit Volcanoes NP.

The mountain Gorillas of Rwanda is one of many success stories of this tiny little Country saddled between the Democratic republic of Congo (DRC), Tanzania and Uganda. The border of these three countries is also host to the last remaining wild mountain gorilla populations.
