2 Days Gorilla Trekking Safari in Rwanda

This 2-Day Gorilla Trekking Safari in Rwanda takes you to Volcanoes National Park, driving through the unwinding hills in rural areas into the home of endangered mountain gorillas. Your safari begins from Kigali’s urban settings up to the beautiful village of Musanze. From Musanze, you will access Volcanoes National Park, a well-known habitat for various primate species you may encounter during your trekking. You will also encounter many bird species and other wildlife. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you will remember forever.

If you’re in Kigali for a business meeting or conference, this can work perfectly for you, giving you a relaxed holiday upon a successful meeting. Please contact us to begin planning your journey.

Day 1: Transfer to Volcanoes National Park. Travel time + 2 hours

You will start the day being picked up by one of our guides from your hotel in Kigali or the airport (if you have arrived on an early morning flight that day). Then, you will begin your city tour at Kigali Genocide Memorial ground, where over 25000 bodies of victims of genocide were given a decent burial.

Later you will have lunch in a local restaurant before being transported to Musanze  – Volcanoes National Park, where you will have dinner and an overnight stay in one of the following accommodation options: Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel (luxury lodge) or Mount Gorilla View Lodge (Mid-range) or La Palme Hotel (Economy lodge). Meal Plan: Lunch & Dinner.

Day 2: Gorrila Trek – Kigali. Travel time + 2 hours

On Day 2, after your early morning breakfast, at 7.30 am, you and your packed lunch will be transported to the park’s headquarters. At the Office of Tourism in Kinigi, you will be briefed by the ranger about the rules and regulations of Mountain Gorilla tracking before you head off to the jungle in search of these gentle giants.

The gorilla trek can last from an hour to six hours depending on the gorilla’s movements, the trek is strenuous at times but incredibly rewarding. You will be given an hour with the gorillas to take as many pictures as possible. Once you have returned from your trek, head for lunch in one of the local restaurants, before hitting the road to find your way back to Kigali, where you will be dropped at your hotel or the Kigali airport to catch up with your evening flight. Meal Plan: Breakfast & Lunch.
