Feel the extreme sightseeings on Virunga Volcanoes Safari
Virunga National Park (formerly Albert National Park) lies from the Virunga Mountains, to the Ruwenzori Mountains, in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, bordering Volcans National Park in Rwanda and Rwenzori National Park in Uganda. It covers 7,800 square km and was established in 1925 as Africa’s first National Park. In later years it has become known for its mountain gorillas, although poaching and the Congo Civil War have seriously damaged its wildlife population.Feel the extreme sightseeings on Virunga Volcanoes Safari The national park covers the western shores of Lake Edward, known for its hippopotamuses (now badly depleted by more than 95%) while elsewhere, marshland, grassland plateau and plains dominate the park.

The Rwenzori Mountains lie on the Ugandan border and rise to alpine meadows and a glacier, while Nyiragongo and Nyamuragira are both active volcanoes with substantial associated lava plains.

Nyiragongo volcano is located in Virunga National park. It is one really amazing place where you can go and see the boiling lava into the volcano’s crater. Nyiragongo is famous for its lava lake - permanent pool of liquid magma. It is one quite extreme trip indeed because this volcano erupted in 2002 and destoyed the town of Goma violently. and up to now this volcano still active. But the breathtaking views worth a look definetely.
