Highlights

This extraordinary expedition offers more than just a scenic hike - it’s a powerful journey into the heart of Rwanda’s conservation history. Beginning at dawn in Kigali, the tour leads you through the breathtaking Volcanoes National Park, retracing the footsteps of legendary primatologist Dian Fossey. You'll trek the same misty trails and dense forests where Fossey conducted her groundbreaking research on mountain gorillas and fought tirelessly to protect them.


What sets this experience apart is its deep connection to wildlife conservation and the legacy of a woman whose work transformed global understanding of great apes. As you ascend to her final resting place and research site, you'll gain intimate insight into the life and impact of a true conservation pioneer. It’s a moving, educational, and inspiring adventure - perfect for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone passionate about wildlife protection.
