Overview

The driver guide will pick you up at your Kigali hotel at 4:00 am to take you on a two-hour drive to Volcanoes National Park. Upon arrival at the park reception, you will receive a briefing on the park and rules and regulations for gorilla trekking. The trekking exercise can take between 1 and 7 hours and is limited to a group of 8 visitors per gorilla family to reduce disturbance. Exclusive payment is allowed. Visitors have a maximum of one hour to interact with the gorillas, take photos, and learn about them. This is a unique opportunity to gain knowledge and experience with mountain gorillas. Each group can only be visited once per day. After trekking, you can return for lunch and relaxation, followed by a drive back to Kigali.
