How many gorilla families can tourists visit in Rwanda?

Volcanoes National Park is home to several habituated gorilla families available for tourism. Each family consists of a dominant silverback, adult females, juveniles, blackbacks, and infants. To protect the gorillas and maintain a high-quality visitor experience, only a limited number of tourists are allowed to visit each family per day. This carefully managed system ensures that gorilla tourism remains sustainable while generating conservation revenue. Different families occupy different areas of the park, meaning trek difficulty and scenery can vary depending on which family visitors are assigned.
