Things to do at One and Only Gorilla’s Nest
We have 12 different gorilla groups in the Volcanoes National Park. A silverback male is always the boss. Watching mountain gorillas in their natural habitat feels like being let in on a secret. One visit is never enough, because the more you see of them, the more you want to go back.
