1 DAY - GORILLA TREK

For people attending seminars, in transit or with busy schedule in Rwanda but don’t want to miss a life changing experience with the gorillas.

Day 1: Gorilla Trek
Early morning drive to Ruhengeri passes through magnificent views of the hilly countryside which give Rwanda its stature as “a country of a thousand hills”. Stop at the national park office for briefing and guiding to the gorilla trek.

Trekking amongst the mountain Gorillas of Parc National des Volcans is one of the most memorable experiences of a lifetime. There are seven gorilla groups habituated for tourism. Parc National des Volcans is well known for its undulating volcanoes that give a spectacular view of Mount Karisimbi, Bisoke, Sabyinyo, Gahinga and Muhabura.
