François Bigirimana, a passionate guide at Volcanoes National Park, has an exceptional story to tell. As one of Dian Fossey’s original porters, François has a deep connection to the park and its majestic mountain gorillas. He grew up near the park and still lives with his family in the same area today. His experience and love for the gorillas make him the perfect guide for any trek.
François is not just a guide; he’s a natural entertainer. He speaks the “language” of the gorillas and often greets visitors with a cheerful “Mah-mmmm,” mimicking the gorillas’ vocalizations. He’s a firm believer in the power of nature and even eats the same plants the gorillas feed on, including fresh bamboo, gallium vines, and wild celery. He’ll encourage you to try them too, saying, “Gorilla food is delicious!”
