    It is always amazing to see people like you coming for mountain gorilla trekking and sharing your experience with others. When you trek these mountain gorillas, in other hand you support us in our conservation purposes so that these mountain gorillas can live for more years to come. Welcome to Rwanda

      You Really welcome to Rwanda's volcanoes National park for gorilla trekking and you really right its more interesting to trek the mountain gorillas during the low season because here you have even more chances of trekking the mountain gorilla family alone hence giving enough space for the good shots and videos. Much love from Rwanda.
