Rwanda: Gorilla trekking with driver guide and hotel stays

Phenomenal Encounter with the endangered Mountain Gorillas on a guided tour. Enjoy all inclusive stays in the Volcanoes National Park and an insightful city tour of Kigali.
Day 1: Arrive at Kigali International Airport and welcomed by our representative outside the customs and immigration hall, who will assist with immigration procedures. A transfer will take you to your city accommodation. You will check-in followed by dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 2: Visit the Genocide Memorial: The center is an extremely moving, challenging, educational and ultimately inspiring as well as a great place to understand the cause, tragedy and successful rebuilding post-genocide. You will then proceed to Volcanoes National Park. There is an option of meeting with a Gorilla Doctor this evening to have a conversation on their work with the Gorillas in the park and how every visit to see the Gorillas has directly impacted conservation and sustainability of Volcanoes national park. The talk is at a welcome donation from $500 for the entire group.

Day 3: Experience Mountain Gorilla trekking. After breakfast, 06:45am depart for the Trekking Headquarters at Volcanoes National Park (20-minute drive)

You will then gather in a group with the Volcanoes National Park Guide for a detailed briefing. At 8:00am, vehicles will depart to the various trailheads for a 15-minute to one- hour drive – depending on the gorilla family each group has been allocated. At the start of the trailhead, you will be allocated a porter to assist with carrying bags and navigating challenging terrain, (this is recommended). Cash is required to pay the porters (the minimum amount is USD 10). The time that it takes to reach the gorilla family varies and can be anything from 30 minutes to 3-4 hours, and treks reach an altitude from 2,500- 4,000m.

The gorilla-trekking terrain varies from farmlands to thick bushes closer to the Park boundary, and visitors may be allocated to a gorilla family who is on the move – which could make their trek longer. This may at times require navigating a path through dense vegetation, which can be slippery. There are also stinging nettles, which is why we recommend packing gloves and gators to be used during Gorilla trekking. After the trekking, you will stop at the Ellen Campus Diane Fossey Foundation for a visit to wrap up the Gorilla trekking experience nicely.

Day 4: Today morning you will have breakfast and go for a Golden Monkey trekking. You will then return to the accommodation where you will freshen up have lunch and check out. You will drive straight to Kigali Airport where you will depart.
