Rwanda has this advantage over all the other countries where gorilla trekking is done. Unlike Uganda and Congo where one cannot go for a gorilla trek in one day, In Rwanda it is very easy and able to do this trek in one day. So, in this tour you can expect to Trek the gorillas just in one day where we shall depart from Kigali to Volcanoes National park for a trek and come back just in 1 day.
Our Driver guide will pick you from your hotel by 5:00 am early morning to set off for Kinigi where the volcanoes national park offices are located. The drive is approximately 2-3 hours through a beautiful mountainous country side which will confirm to you why Rwanda is referred to as “The Land of a thousand hills”.
You will arrive at the Kinigi offices by 7:00 am in time for the usual briefing from a head guide on the rules and procedures to be followed while watching mountain gorillas. Once you are done with the briefing, you can then proceed to track the gorilla family. Once you spot the gorillas, follow instructions from the guides. Watching mountain gorillas is breath taking. You could spend hours just watching the little ones roll around and play – Unfortunately, you will only have one hour with these mighty apes. Mountain Gorillas are very playful and curious and will often come close you. Once again, while with the gorillas, listen to instructions from your guide and always stay calm. Never make sudden movements.
