Description
Prepare for an unforgettable safari experience where you'll encounter Rwanda's unique wildlife, including the majestic mountain gorillas, up close in their natural habitat.
The most exciting day starts early in the morning. 4:30am is the pick up time hence transfer to Volcanoes national Park.
Once arrived at the reception, we grab a free cup of coffee to warm up and take a short briefing on protocols and rules for visiting the gorillas.
The hike can last anything from 30 minutes to hours, reaching an altitude of between 2,500m and 4,000m. Porters are available to carry backpacks and cameras, as well as to offer a helping hand along the route.
Carry a light backpack with bottled water and your gear for the gorilla trekking.
While tracking the gorilla, you might get the chance to spot a diversity of other species and once you have finally met your gorilla family, you have one hour to spend with gorillas. Learn about their behaviors and take some pictures, etc.
The awe-inspiring moment when you lock eyes with a gorilla is something that will stay with you forever.
Another highlight of visiting Rwanda is the chance to immerse yourself in the warm hospitality and culture of its people. After the gorilla trek, you will go for a culture tour to participate and learn about the rich culture of Rwandan people. You will be welcomed with open arms by friendly locals who are proud to share their heritage with visitors. They will dance for you, show you how the traditional weeding was conducted, visit the house of the kings and witness how what were first porches have now become self sufficient people and benefits the tourism and conservation sector.
