Our 3-day gorilla adventure brings you Rwanda’s gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, where Dian Fossey studied these unique creatures in detail. This beautiful place is popular because of the famous “Gorillas in the Mist” film. Volcanoes National Park is one of four locations in the world where visitors can track mountain gorillas (Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in Uganda, Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, and Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo). It is part of the Virunga Mountains, which cover the three countries.
On arrival at Kigali Airport, you will be received by your driver guide who will transfer you to your accommodation closer to Volcanoes National Park in Ruhengeri Province. The drive is about 2 hours from Kigali.
Accommodations:
After early breakfast, you will drive to the park headquarters to meet the park rangers and guides for a briefing on the dos and don’ts of gorilla tracking. Afterwards, you will trek in the forest searching for the fascinating gentle giants, the Mountain Gorillas. On finding them, you are allowed to spend only one hour with them while taking photos and recording reels for memories. This is a lifetime experience. In the afternoon, you can do a Nature Walk through the area.
