ONE DAY GORILLA TREKKING ADVENTURE FROM KIGALI

If you’re pressed for time or have a long layover in Kigali, the one day gorilla trekking excursion is the perfect way to see Rwanda’s most popular tourist attraction.

Departing from Kigali before dawn, your day trip will have you in Volcanoes National Park in time for the briefing and home in time for dinner.

Detailed Itinerary


You’ll depart from Kigali at 4.30 am for the drive to Musanze. Winding through mist-shrouded hills and seeing the early morning hustle and bustle, you’ll arrive in time for the pre-gorilla trekking briefing.

You’ll then spend your morning hiking through the rainforest in search of the enigmatic mountain gorillas who call Volcanoes National Park home. There is no guarantee how long this hike can take – with treks lasting anywhere between an hour and six hours.

When you find your gorilla family, you’ll spend an unforgettable hour in their presence observing their behaviour and learning more about these uniquely beautiful animals.

Upon returning to the park entrance, you’ll rejoin your guide for the drive back to Kigali.

Additional notes & Tour inclusions & Exclusions

Additional notes:

  • Your first day on safari requires you to pay extra attention to both our company’s recommendations and the visitor regulations for the national parks.
  • Except for in officially designated sites, it is strictly prohibited to exit the vehicle during the safari. Large fines for the company and even the loss of its license may result from violations of this provision.
  • Off-road driving is also not allowed because such actions could seriously upset the delicate ecosystem’s balance.
  • You are permitted to smoke during the safari, but you must take special care to put out and dispose of cigarette butts because they frequently start fires in the savanna.
  • Furthermore, we respectfully request that you do not place your feet on the safari cars’ seats or sit in the back of them, as this type of behavior quickly renders the vehicles unusable.

Thank you in advance for your understanding.
