The Parc National Des Volcans encompasses five of the eight volcanoes that make up the Virungas: Karisimbi, Bisoke, Muhabura, Gahinga, and Sabyinyo. Of these, Karisimbi, Bisoke, and Gahinga are dormant, and Muhabara and Sabyinyo are extinct. Volcanologists do not expect any activity from the dormant volcanoes for the foreseeable future.
