1-Day Rwanda Gorilla Trekking

• You'll be collected from the airport.

At 4:30 am, our safari driver-guide will pick you up from your accommodation and drive off to the park. It’s a 2-hour drive to get to the Volcanoes National Park in Ruhengeri, Musanze province, which is a habitat for the endangered mountain gorillas. You can take visually attractive pictures from the different stopovers along the journey and have a cup of coffee at one of the local restaurants around. At exactly 7.30 am, you'll move to the park’s headquarters in Kinigi Village, where you are briefed by the ranger about the rules and regulations governing Gorilla tracking before you head off to the jungle. The trek can last from an hour to six hours, depending on the gorilla's movement and the proximity of the gorilla family you are visiting. You will be given an hour with the gorilla to take as many pictures of your choice. Later, you'll return for a drive back to Kigali with an en route lunch along the way in one of the local restaurants.
