Parc National des Volcans One must obtain a permit to view the gorillas. These may be purchased at the government permit agency in Kigali. They cost $250 american dollars CASH. Most of the permits are sold through travel agencies who arrange for a car and driver. The driver will pick you up very early in the morning in Kigali or at a more civilized hour in Rehuengeri. |
Kibogora Kibogora is on lake Kivu, on the western edge of Rwanda. We visited relatives at a Christian Hospital there. |
