Fewer than 1,100 mountain gorillas remain, and spending an hour with a habituated family in the bamboo forests of Volcanoes National Park is one of the most moving experiences in travel. Rwanda’s permits are limited and must be booked months ahead; the USD 1,500 permit is included in this price so there are no surprises.
