Meet the locals in Volcanoes National Park

Gorilla trekking may be Volcanoes' claim to fame, but for a more leisurely glimpse into the area, join your guide for a walk through the local village. Leave your lodge for a scenic stroll through the fields and farms, before stopping to peruse the marketplaces where you could pick up colourful baskets, hand-made souvenirs or local delicacies. Enjoy the chance to meet and speak with members of the community, who may share their story with you, try your hand at grinding sorghum in a local home or get to know the rhythm of Rwanda with a few moments of song and dance.
