A trip to Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, home of the gorillas, is a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience. This adventure allows you to visit gorillas in their natural habitat, observing their living conditions and behaviors. The journey starts and ends in Kigali, offering a unique and unforgettable opportunity to connect with these incredible animals in their own environment.
At 4:30 am, our safari driver-guide will pick you up from your accommodation in Kigali and drive to Volcanoes National Park in Ruhengeri, Musanze Province. The park is approximately a 2.5-hour drive away and is home to the endangered mountain gorillas. You can take scenic photos at various stopovers along the journey.
At 7:00 am, we will arrive at the park’s headquarters in Kinigi Village, where a ranger will brief you on the rules and regulations of gorilla tracking before you head into the jungle. The trek can last from 3 to 6 hours, depending on the gorillas’ movements. Although the trek can be strenuous, it is immensely rewarding. You will spend one hour with the gorillas, during which you can take as many photos as you like. Afterward, we will return to Kigali, stopping for lunch at a local restaurant along the way. Upon arrival in Kigali, you can either be dropped off at the airport for your departure or at your hotel in Kigali.
