Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International – Karisoke Research Centre

Right in the center of Musanze, this high-quality research center features an exhibit that comprises interpretive panels about mountain gorillas and the conservation efforts that Dian Fossey pioneered. It also shelters Dian Fossey artifacts, a 3D interactive model of the Virunga mountains and casts of real gorilla noseprints. Overall it makes a perfect introduction to a visit to the gorillas.
