The one-day Gorilla Trekking Adventure helps you to get closer to one of the Mountain Gorilla families within Volcanoes NP, home to the remaining endangered gorillas, which have stayed due to the effort of our Beloved Dian Fossey once the great primatologist, she was brutally murdered in her cabin at a remote camp in Rwanda in December 1985. It has been theorized that her murder was linked to her conservation efforts, probably by a poacher.
