3 DAY GORILLA SAFARI-RWANDA
3 Days Rwanda gorilla trekking trip takes you to Volcanoes national park, homing nearly half of the world’s total population of the remaining mountain gorillas. It’s one of the few places in the world where visitors get to see these endangered animals in the wild. Besides these gentle giants, Volcanoes is also a home to the golden monkeys, the only place in Rwanda where one can see both the silver-backs and the golden primates. Though on this trip we are majorly tapping the mountain gorillas.
Day 1: Travel to Volcanoes National Park.
In the morning after breakfast, you will be picked by our travel guide who will give you a simple briefing about the whole trip. Drive out of Kigali city enjoying the beautiful sights of the town as the guides shows you some of the prominent buildings in the city. The journey also furnishes beautiful views of the Virunga chain of volcanoes that really prove that Rwanda is the land of a thousand hills.

Day 2: Gorilla trekking and visit Iby’iwachu cultural center.
Have an early morning breakfast and head to the park headquarters for a short briefing from the park ranger about the rules and regulations of gorilla trekking and also be grouped into eight members to trek a gorilla group per day. Start the trek in the jungle to hunt for the mountain gorillas. The trek is quite hectic as it involves a simple hike into the forest and starts as early as 7:30am. Walk in the impenetrable forest, paving your way out with a hand stick till you finally meet the gentle apes.
Spend the magical hour with the gorillas, taking photos, watching them play with each other and conducting their normal lives. Looking straight in the red eyes of a silverback a lifetime memory.
Enjoy the Iby’iwachu cultural village experience in the afternoon after lunch. Enjoy the traditional performances, have community walks and also taste the local cuisines of the local Rwandese living around Volcanoes national park.
