About Volcanoes National Park

Volcanoes National Park is in the far northwest corner of Rwanda. It is also known as Parc National des Volcans or just PNV. This park protects the steep rainforested slopes of the magnificent Virungas mountain range.

The “Parc National de Volcans”lies along the Virunga Mountains. The Virungas has 8 ancient volcanoes. They are shared by Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

This park is a short two hour drive from Rwanda’s capital of Kigali. Volcanoes National Park has a central location. This allows you to explore some Rwandan experiences.
