Day 2

Gorilla Tracking in Volcanoes National Park

Gorilla Tracking in Volcanoes National Park

Gorilla trekking in Rwanda is a globally sought after wildlife experience and rightfully so. In Rwanda, tourists can spend up to one hour with gorillas and get within five feet of a Gorilla. It is a life changing experience. Experts estimate that there are only 900 mountain gorillas still in existence and one third of these are in Rwanda. Descend the volcanoes and return to the lodge for lunch. On the programme is the Ibyiwacu cultural experience now rebranded as the gorilla solutions village. The village is located 45 minutes drive from your host property and is an interesting cultural excursion to enlist on your day list. The village convinced ex poachers to turn their back on poaching and instead perform for visitors. Visiting the village, you can discover the traditional house of a local king, watch an authentic medicine man prepare herbal mixtures, try your hand at bow and arrow shooting or enjoy cultural dances and drumming performed by people from the local area.
