1 Day Gorilla Trekking Safari Rwanda

Depart early from your hotel in Kigali for the scenic 2.5-hour drive northwest to Volcanoes National Park at the foothills of the Virunga Mountains. Arrive at park headquarters for a briefing by experienced rangers who will assign your gorilla family and trekking group. Set off into the lush bamboo forests and volcanic slopes, following your trackers through misty terrain until you encounter a habituated gorilla family. Spend a magical one hour observing these gentle giants — silverbacks, mothers with babies, and playful juveniles — in their natural habitat. After the trek, receive your gorilla trekking certificate and enjoy a packed lunch before the return drive to Kigali, arriving in the evening.
