You will enter Volcanoes National Park, which is close to the border, and visit the renowned Dian Fossey’s final resting place. A visit to her grave is in order; take a knee. That petite lady, with a tremendous heart, had the fortitude to protect the mountain gorillas from savages and to tell the world about the treasure we had buried deep in our African forest.
