Gorillas
are your Sherpas

Ruhengeri, Rwanda

The Volcanoes National Park tops our list whenever we’re in Rwanda, with the Gorilla trek being a silver highlight. Once inside the thick rainforest, we’re met by an adorable family munching what looks like pineapples. The last time we were joined by a ménage of six for two incredible hours that got us up close to witnessing their life in the jungle. We also heard tales of Gorilla Cantsbee, the last leading silverback studied by David Fossey right here.
