Virunga National Park is considered to be one of the world’s most dangerous conservation areas. Statistics indicate that over 180 park rangers have been killed by rebels or poachers or smugglers in the last two decades. Management has promised to do “things a little differently – offering a set of packages which give visitors the opportunity to experience the Park’s most popular offerings, including Nyiragongo and mountain gorilla treks,” a statement issued by management of the park reads in part.
