1-Day Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Expedition

• A transfer from the airport can be arranged for an extra cost.

Begin your unforgettable adventure with a 4:00 am pick-up from your Kigali hotel by a professional driver-guide from Vazquez Tours & Travel Ltd. After a brief orientation, enjoy a scenic 2.5-hour drive to Volcanoes National Park in Musanze. Upon arrival, meet your experienced trekking guide, receive a short briefing on gorilla trekking etiquette, and join a group of eight to track a specific mountain gorilla family. The trek through the rainforest can last from 90 minutes to several hours, depending on the gorillas' location.

Once the gorillas are located, you’ll spend a magical hour observing them in their natural habitat. This intimate and awe-inspiring experience allows you to walk alongside these gentle giants, guided by experts who ensure respectful and safe viewing. After the trek, return to the starting point where your driver awaits. Enjoy lunch at Tiloreza Volcanoes Ecolodge before returning to Kigali for drop-off at your hotel or airport.
