| Volcanoes
National Park (French: Parc National des Volcans)
lies in northwestern Rwanda and borders Virunga
National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo
and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda.
The national
park is known as a haven for the mountain gorilla.
It is home to five of the eight volcanoes of the
Virunga Mountains (Karisimbi, Bisoke, Muhabura,
Gahinga and Sabyinyo), which are covered in rainforest
and bamboo. The park was the base for the zoologist
Dian Fossey.
