At Rwanda Eco Company & Safaris, we organise private one day gorilla trekking tours for business travellers, conference delegates, couples, and visitors who want to experience Rwanda’s mountain gorillas with or without spending several days on safari.

Spending an hour watching wild mountain gorillas in their natural habitat is one of those travel experiences that is difficult to explain until you have actually done it.

Gorilla Trekking Age Limit in Rwanda

Gorilla Trekking Age Limit in Rwanda

If you are planning a gorilla trek in Rwanda, one of the first practical questions to answer is whether everyone in your group is old enough to go. The Gorilla Trekking Age Limit in Rwanda is 15 years. Anyone younger than 15 is not permitted to take part in gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park. There is, however, no general maximum age, so you can be 60, 70 or older and still go gorilla trekking, provided you are physically able to manage the walk. This is one of those rules that is worth knowing before you start planning your itinerary, especially if you are travelling as a family.
