Gorilla Trekking and transfer to Kigali

Set off into the dense rainforest, navigating thick vegetation and steep terrain as anticipation builds with every step. The trek may take several hours, but the reward is extraordinary coming face to face with a family of mountain gorillas in their natural habitat. Watch them feed, play, and interact, an intimate wildlife encounter that few ever experience. The sheer presence of these gentle giants leaves lasting memories and photographs to treasure.
