Rwanda
This is the new location for the Dian Fossey Research Centre. A very large complex housing Dian Fossey Exhibition and Gorilla Centre. A wonderful informative and interactive place with short films in a 360-degree cinema and learning centre. All indoors and some outdoor walks with views of 6 volcanoes if the weather permits. It's free to view but a donation is expected, they usually ask for $20 but you can give what you think is ok. All in, all a very good place to visit and learn about Dian Fossey and Gorillas.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Definitely worth the visit. Best museum in Africa in 5 months so far. Don't miss the VR experience.
The food is good, but expensive (as everything in this region of Rwanda ;)
Worth a visit and the (nice) detour.
Entrance fee is still donation based, 20$ is suggested but you pay what you want.
The payment is done privately via free and good WiFi and all via QR code, Credit card and PayPal possible.
Good coffee/Tea and cake for about 3$ per item, depending on how much you donate it's a nice way to add to your budget orientated donation at the entrance.
There's also a short VR experience, absolutely worth a try if you don't have the money for actually visiting the gorillas.
Highly recommend!
Very impressive museum dedicated to the work of Dian Fossey. The cafe/restaurant is also worth a visit. Very delicious food. They expect a donation of $20,-pp.
