Tour Overview
The visitors will get an experience of a lifetime by visiting Rwanda and tracking the only remaining mountain gorillas in volcanoes national parks which is also a thrilling adventure. More so, gorilla trekking in Rwanda can be quite tiresome but greatly rewarding when you finally get into close view of one of the families of these giant primates.
Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Arrival and transfer to Volcanoes National Park
Location: Volcanoes National Park
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge
Meals Included: Lunch, Dinner
The company guide will pick you up and will give you a briefing about the safari. You will then transfer to Kigali city to enjoy a city tour.

Day 2 : Gorilla Trekking
Location: Volcanoes National Park
Accommodation: Hotel
Accommodation Name: Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Have your breakfast and after, transfer to the park headquarters for the briefing at exactly 8:00, you will then need to carry packed lunch since you will spend most of the time in the jungle searching for the mountain gorillas. The time you will spend tracking the gorillas is unpredictable and it may take as few as only 2 hours on a good day yet it may even take you 8 hours before you meet these great apes. This period taken depends on their movement on the previous day. When you finally find the gorillas, you will have to spend an hour watching them play and eat foliage as you take photographs. It is truly a thrilling experience of a lifetime. More so, in case you complete the gorilla tracking early, you can choose to relax and have a drink at the nearby hotels near the park or you can take an optional cultural tour to have an opportunity to interact with the friendly local people.
