Itinerary

1. Day 1: Arrival and transfer to Kinigi

   • Arrive and transfer to Kinigi for your gorilla tracking 

   • Depart from Kigali city with a private vehicle and Volcanoes guide and transfer to Volcanoes National Park, the home of gorilla tracking activity in Rwanda with private vehicle and driver. 

   • Day hikes to see the gorilla families can be strenuous on tracks climbing through the forest, and time is minimal once contact is made with the gorilla families. It is a rare and memorable experience to visit these giant cousins of man.

   • Accommodation is ideal for those who want to watch animals in their habitat, specifically the endangered Rwanda Mountain Gorillas that still roam these areas.

   • Please share in the cuisine of Rwanda, which is served with the hospitality for which we all return to African countries. 

   • Take walks, learn more about the gorillas, and absorb the gorgeous surrounding landscape.

   Ride back to accommodation (available). 

2. Day 2: Gorilla trekking in Pac des Volcanoes

   • Have breakfast and go to ORTPN offices for briefing.

   • Set off to the forest for gorilla trekking.

   • Go for a thrilling trek through the refined foothills of the Virungas.

   • Enter the national park trail.

   • Engross yourself in the closeness of the rainforest, alive with the calls of colourful birds and chattering of the rare golden monkey, and besieged with fresh spoor (footprints) of the mountains' elusive populations of buffalo and elephant.

   • Spend time watching gorillas, watch the adults feeding their young ones, brushing and resting as the youngsters play from vines in a playful display.

   • Afterwards, drive back to the hotel for lunch.

   Drive back to Kigali and transfer to the airport for your flight.
