It is the biggest event on Rwanda’s tourism calendar, drawing conservationists, researchers, policy makers, government officials, the private sector, tourists and the people of Northern Province — home to the mountain gorilla.
This is the annual Kwita Izina or gorilla naming ceremony, held on June 16 this year, which takes place in the lush green Virunga Mountains in northern Rwanda.
