1 Day Gorilla Trekking Safari Tour
Overview
8 more depending on where the gorillas had been the previous day. The hike is quite strenuous but all the more rewarding once you set your eyes on the gentle mountain gorillas. They always move in a big number with the Silverback at the lead. You will watch them carry about their day to day routine like the juveniles playing, mothers feeding their young ones and the Silverbacks taking watch out for their families avoiding any predator.
Inclusions
- Ground transportation in a Jeep Car Vehicle
- Gorilla Permit
What to expect
it is a lifetime encounter that you wouldn’t want to miss out on the moment you get an opportunity to visit Rwanda. Wake up early in the morning at 4:30 am and drive off to the park. It’s a 112 km long drive to get to the Volcanoes National Park in Ruhengeri, Musanze province which is a habitat to the endangered Mountain gorillas. You can take visually attractive pictures from the different stopovers along the journey and also get to have a cup of coffee. At exactly 8.30 am, we move to the park’s headquarters in Kinigi Village where you are briefed by the ranger about the rules and regulations governing Gorilla tracking. You are distributed into different groups and then sent off into the forest. The trek takes an hour to about

Great exercise experience. I recommend it as a once in a lifetime experience but make sure to do a lot of exercising(jogging) in and around Rwanda so that you acclimatize to the weather and breathing.

We had to cross private fields on foot to get into the alledged Volcanoes national park. Super expensive for an excusion which total cost it was not more than USD 100 A complete scam.

I had a great experience! My driver was friendly and very accommodating. Once you're at the park office, you have an opportunity at the briefing to request to join a group taking a short or longer trek. I opted for a long trek but was expecting a lot more habit diversity on the trek. It's mostly through bamboo jungle, with little else to see until you reach the Gorillas. So I'd suggest opting for a shorter trip and spending more of your time enjoying the lakes and scenery in the area.
