Is the Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda 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 be transferred by road from the airport to the lodge. Check in and relax, walk in the gardens, and enjoy the nature around you. You can chat to the staff at the lodge to book optional excursions such as coffee tasting, chocolate and wine tasting, or to rent a bike and cycle the area. Dinner is included and have an early night in preparation for your trek tomorrow.

Early wake up and transfer to the Park Headquarters on time for the briefing. The park rangers allocate the different group (you can hike for several hours depending on the gorillas location) and you depart on the most amazing trek in search of the mountain gorillas. In order to ensure the long-term viability of the gorillas population, once spotted, you will be limited to one hour of observation. 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. Balance of the day is at leisure with lunch and dinner included at the lodge. ** this is a wildlife experience that is subject to weather and gorilla movements **
