Is This Trip for Me?

As of 2023, there are only slightly more than 1,000 mountain gorillas in the world, all of them in the wild. This affordable gorilla trekking option is your opportunity to view the mountain gorillas in Rwanda. It is a short 2 nights stay at an affordable lodge, not too far from the Park’s headquarter and includes 1 gorilla trekking with the return airport transfers. It is a no frill – big reward journey that can be easily added to an East Africa Safari.

You will get the opportunity to see young apes playing with one another, mothers nursing and silverbacks overseeing their pod. Return to the headquarters and transfer back to the lodge.
