DIAN FOSSEY GORILLA FUND

The Dian Fossey Foundation (1967) now has its own Ellen DeGeneres campus and museum at the foot of Virunga. The interactive displays, videos and 360 degree film projections are exemplary. It's fun and informative. You'll learn all about Dian Fossey's life and work to save gorillas from extinction; about the gorillas themselves, and about all the work being done to protect them. Meetings with researchers are held every day of the week at 4pm. Very nice craft store on site and good little restaurant.
