About Virunga

Virunga National Park is Africa's oldest national park and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The park features an exceptional diversity of landscapes including active volcanoes, savannas, forests, and glaciers. It is home to about one-third of the world's remaining mountain gorillas and contains more bird, mammal, and reptile species than any other protected area in Africa.
