1 Day Gorilla Trekking Experience

At 4:30 am, our safari driver-guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Kigali to begin the journey to Volcanoes National Park in Ruhengeri, Musanze Province, a haven for the endangered mountain gorillas. This scenic 2.5-hour drive offers numerous picturesque stopovers, perfect for capturing beautiful photos along the way. Upon arrival at the park’s headquarters in Kinigi Village at 7:00 am, you’ll receive a detailed briefing from the ranger on the rules and guidelines for gorilla trekking. The trek itself can last between 3 to 6 hours, depending on the movement of the gorillas. Though the trek can be physically demanding, it is immensely rewarding, as you’ll spend a magical hour observing and photographing the gorillas in their natural habitat. After the trek, you’ll return to Kigali, with a stop for lunch at a local restaurant en route. Once back in Kigali, you have the option to be dropped off at the airport for departure or at your hotel.
