Rwanda

Ravaged by a terrible genocide, Rwanda has managed to lift itself out of the doldrums and is, once again, world famous as one of the best places on earth to view and photograph the critically endangered Mountain Gorilla. Adding to this is the fact that, within its small territorial limits over 650 bird species have been recorded, offering a wealth of avian possibilities in our short, but rewarding, extension to this little-explored land.

Our adventure visits the country’s core photographic region: the bamboo-clad slopes of the Virunga Volcanoes in Volcanoes National Park, where we will spend time photographing one of the most iconic mammals on our planet. Photographing, and spending time with mystical Mountain Gorillas is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
