Embark on a breathtaking journey into the heart of Rwanda’s wilderness with our 1-Day Gorilla Trekking Tour in Volcanoes National Park. This unforgettable adventure offers you the rare opportunity to come face-to-face with the majestic mountain gorillas—one of the world’s most endangered species—amidst the lush forests and misty volcanoes of the Virunga Mountains.
A Day Packed with Wonder and Discovery
Your journey begins early in the morning with a scenic drive from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park, located in Rwanda’s Northern Province. As the sun rises over rolling hills and green plantations, anticipation builds for the incredible experience that awaits.
Upon arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed at the park headquarters in Kinigi for a briefing by experienced park rangers. After receiving your gorilla trekking permit and safety instructions, you’ll venture deep into the forest—guided by expert trackers who know each gorilla family by name and behavior.
The trek, though challenging, is deeply rewarding. The moment you spot a gorilla family watching mothers gently care for their young, silverbacks beating their chests in dominance, or juveniles playing among the trees is pure magic. You’ll spend an unforgettable hour observing and photographing these gentle giants in their natural habitat.
