When you are on a leisure holiday or business tour in Kigali – Rwanda, you can extend your stay for a 1 Day Gorilla Trekking to see these gentle creatures. This 1-day Gorilla trekking in Rwanda can be even extended to a two-day gorilla trek or by adding 1 day of golden monkeys trekking. This experience in the volcanoes National park is a magical lifetime experience that is worth encountering. You can email us to share your availability and we make all arrangements based on your wishes.

Day Gorilla Trek. Travel time +2hrs

At 4:30 am our safari driver guide will pick you up and drive off to the park for starting your 1-day Gorilla trekking in Rwanda. It’s a 2-hour long drive to get to the Volcanoes National Park in Ruhengeri, Musanze province which is a habitat for 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 one of the local restaurants around. At exactly 7.30 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 before you head off to the jungle. The trek can last from an hour to six hours depending on the gorilla movement, but for your case, since you will be having a flight on the same day, we will recommend a nearby family easy to trek. You will be given an hour with the gorilla to take as many pictures of your choice and later return to head park headquarters, and drive back to the airport for your flight with lunch along the way in one of the local restaurants.

Will I be able to see the gorilla in that short time of one day?

Most of our clients ask us this question about their worry of not seeing the gorillas, but the answer is a YES. You will be able to spot these gentle mammals in their large family led by a dominant silverback during your 1 Day Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda.

Normally gorilla trekking starts at 8.30 am and the trek can last from 4 – 6 hours, however, for this case, our reservation team will notify the park office about your condition and you can be included in a group trekking with the Susa family. So as you trek within a short period you will be able to enjoy a rewarding experience and later catch your flight.

A gorilla permit in Rwanda costs US$ 1500; you may look at it as too expensive but once you come across these great mountain gorillas, you will understand that this is a lifetime experience within only one day in Rwanda. You will be filled with a great smile as you relax back on your flight seat, and imagine how great it was getting close to the gorilla in a day.

Alternatively, the cost of Golden monkey trekking is only 100$ or 75$ if you want to add it after hiking Bisoke Volcano.
