This 3-day Rwanda gorilla trekking safari will combine gorilla trekking highlights with a look into Rwandan culture by visiting the gorilla guardian’s community. Mountain gorillas reside deep in the forests of the Virunga mountains, which are shared by Uganda, Rwanda, and Congo.
This journey will take you to the Volcanoes National Park, which is ideal for mountain gorillas and is located in northern Rwanda near the Uganda border. Enjoy community views and the gorgeous panorama of the ‘country of a thousand hills’.

Day 1: Arrival and transfer to Volcanoes National Park.

Upon arrival, you will meet up with your safari guide, and if time allows you will take a brief city tour of Kigali, seeing key historic and cultural sites such as the Kigali Genocide Memorial Center, Kigali Craft Markets, Kandt National Museum, and the Presidential Museum.

Day 2: Gorilla trekking.

Following your early morning breakfast, you’re ready to begin your gorilla journey. Your safari guide will take you to the briefing area, where you will hear from the ranger guide about your expectations while in the park. In the meanwhile, as you wait for everyone to arrive, experience Rwandan hospitality with traditional dances and steaming Rwandan coffee.

The ranger guide will discuss some gorilla trekking tips, such as no flash photography, and then break you into several gorilla trekking groups.

Depending on the location of the gorilla family you will be trekking, the guide will take you to the trailhead for the designated gorilla group.

Spend the day relaxing after the gorilla trekking adventure, or participate in an extra activity like as seeing the Musanze Caves or the Twin Lakes. Dinner and an overnight stay at your lodge.

Day 3: Departure.(Rwanda gorillas)

After the incredible Rwanda gorilla trekking excursion yesterday, you can now immerse yourself in Rwandan history and culture by visiting the Gorilla Guardians Village. Some of the residents of this cultural village were previous poachers who relied on the forest for existence.

This cultural village makes a significant contribution to mountain gorilla conservation since they may earn money by sharing their culture rather than poaching. After this encounter, proceed to your hotel or airport.
