Arrive at Ruhengeri, the base for gorilla trekking at the Volcanoes National Park. The town itself is located only 25km from the Uganda border and is relatively a small city of about 70,000 people. The constant flow of humanity is quite remarkable. The town has great views of the surrounding volcanoes. People are very friendly here and although a former Belgian colony (and thus French-speaking), many people speak English here.

Volcanoes National Park - Gorilla Trekking
Have an early breakfast.
6:20 am: Transfer to the Volcanoes National Park headquarters for the first gorilla trek.
7:00 am: Have a briefing by your trackers then drive to the trailhead for the start of your amazing gorilla tracking adventure.
Porters may be hired for the trek to carry your backpack and gear.
Your trek starts in the cultivated foothills of the Virunga’s offering stirring views in all directions. Weaving through overhanging vines, moss-covered hagenia trees and giant lobelias that thrive in the tropical climate. Our experienced trackers, who have spent their entire lives in or close to this forest, soon bring us up close with one of the gorilla families.
Coming face to face with a giant silverback must truly be one of the greatest wildlife experiences on earth! After the trek, rejoin your driver guide for a transfer to your lodge for lunch.
In the afternoon, visit Iby’iwacu cultural village. You'll have dinner at the lodge.
