Virunga - A Living Volcanic Landscape
Virunga lies in Central Africa along the borders of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda. The region forms one of Africa’s most dramatic volcanic landscapes. Towering volcanoes rise above dense equatorial rainforest. Deep crater lakes sit inside ancient volcanic calderas. This terrain creates one of the richest biodiversity regions on Earth.
Wildlife of the Virunga Mountains
Virunga supports an extraordinary range of wildlife adapted to high-altitude tropical forest. The region protects the world’s remaining populations of mountain gorillas. Golden monkeys travel through the upper canopy. Forest elephants navigate dense vegetation along steep volcanic slopes. Birds such as the great blue turaco and the grey crowned crane add vibrant color.
