The Virunga volcano range itself spans three countries — Uganda, Rwanda and DR Congo — making it the only place on Earth where a single mountain range holds gorilla trekking access across three national jurisdictions.
What Makes This Circuit Unique
Rather than three unrelated destinations, the Virunga circuit is genuinely one connected ecosystem seen from three different national parks — Uganda’s Mgahinga, Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, and DR Congo’s Virunga — each offering access to different habituated families within the same volcanic range.
A Sample Structure
Gorilla trekking in Mgahinga (Uganda), a short transfer to Volcanoes National Park (Rwanda) for a second trek and golden monkeys, then on to Virunga (DR Congo) for a third encounter at the lowest regional permit price.
Who This Suits
Serious primate travellers and repeat visitors who want the complete Virunga range experience rather than a single country’s slice of it.
