Gorilla Trekking: Embark on a thrilling trek through the dense forests of Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. Accompanied by experienced guides, you will track one of the habituated gorilla families and spend precious moments observing these magnificent creatures up close. This immersive experience allows you to witness their behaviour and social interactions, and maybe even witness playful baby gorillas.

  • Gorilla Trekking Experience: Upon reaching the park, you will receive a briefing from the park authorities and be assigned to a gorilla family group. The trekking duration can vary depending on the location of the gorilla group, ranging from 1 to 4 hours. Once you locate the gorillas, you will spend a precious hour observing and enjoying their presence.
  • Wildlife Encounter: While in the forest, you may also have the opportunity to encounter other wildlife species such as golden monkeys, various bird species, and unique plant life. The rich biodiversity of Volcanoes National Park adds to the enchantment of the experience.
  • Return Journey: After the gorilla trekking, you will return to your starting point and be transferred back to your accommodation in Rwanda or to the airport, depending on your onward travel plans.

Note: It is important to note that gorilla trekking permits are limited and need to be obtained in advance. It is recommended to book your permit well in advance to secure your spot.
