Descrição
Embark on a guided gorilla trekking adventure in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park from Kigali. Enjoy a boat ride on Lake Burera and explore the islands.
Begin your adventure with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Kigali. Travel northwest to Mgahinga National Park, a journey of approximately 3 hours.
Stop for breakfast at a hotel near the park, where you can enjoy a variety of fresh breads, pastries, and hot and cold selections. Make a brief stop at the border to clear customs, then continue to the National Park headquarters to meet your guides for the day.
Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime experience of tracking mountain gorillas. The trekking may be fairly strenuous, lasting up to 3 hours or longer at a relatively high altitude. Tracking the gorillas through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virunga is a magical experience. These massive primates are extremely rare, with less than 1000 living today.
Once you spot the gorillas, spend an hour watching them. Get within meters of the families and enjoy one of the most breathtaking experiences on earth. After the trek, have lunch in the nearby town or at a nearby lodge. This is an excellent time to relax and reflect on the incredible experience of seeing the gorillas up close.
After lunch, drive back to Rwanda, passing by Lake Burera. Take a boat ride on the lake, enjoying the view of the Virunga Volcanoes and exploring the islands. After the boat ride, begin the drive back to Kigali, enjoying the stunning scenery of the Rwandan countryside.
Arrive back in Kigali in the evening, where you can be dropped off at your hotel or the airport, depending on your travel plans.
