Rwanda Gorilla Safari This 4 Days Rwanda Gorilla Safari and Rwanda Gorilla Tour starts and ends in Kigali, Rwanda. One gorilla permit for Parc Nationale des Volcanoes is included in the cost but the other gorilla Trekking requires permits to be paid at the time of booking. Our driver guide will be in a position to help when the second 4 Days Rwanda Gorilla Safari permits are needed.
Having a chance to see some of the last remaining 700 mountain gorillas in the world is a wonderful experience. It offers you an opportunity to track gorillas two times.
Parc Nationale des Volcanoes in Rwanda has five habituated gorilla families and tracking most groups in the afro-montane forest usually takes a few hours. You can also climb a volcano, visit the remains of Dian Fossey’s grave or visit the endangered Golden monkey

Day 1: Volcanoes National Park
Airport transfer with a private vehicle and our guide will transfer you to Volcanoes National Park. Your guide will take you on a tour of the new and vibrant capital city of Kigali. The new prosperity features a number of thriving markets and features the mountain terrain famous in Rwanda. A sober contrast to its recent history.
For survivors and others whose families were murdered in Rwanda´s genocide in 1994, the memorial sites and centres are places of dignified remembrance for loved ones lost. It is also a place of reflection and learning for the wider community, both in Rwanda and internationally.
Ranging in altitude from 2,400km to 4,507 the Volcanoes National Park is dominated by the setting of volcanoes after which it is named. Best known to the outside world as the place where almost 20yrs the American primatologist Dian Fossey under took her pioneering studies of mountain gorilla behaviour.
Share in the cuisine of Rwanda, which is served with the hospitality for which we all return to African countries. Take walks, learn more about the gorillas, and absorb the gorgeous surrounding landscape.

Day 2: Gorilla Trek in Parc National des Volcans
Have breakfast and go to park offices for briefing after that proceed to the forest for the Rwanda gorilla trekking Safari.
A thrilling trek through the refined foothills of the Virungas provides inspiring views in all directions. Then, suddenly, the trail enters the national park, fascinating trekkers in the strange closeness of the rainforest, alive with the calls of colourful birds and chattering of the rare golden monkey, and besieged with fresh spoor of the mountains’ elusive populations of buffalo and elephant.
Through gaps in the forest canopy, the marvellous peaks are sighted, easily easy to get to and among the uppermost in Africa, indicating an ascent. Rwanda gorilla trekking safari is quite strenuous but a worthwhile on encounter for these gentle giants. The enthusiasm of your coming across with these apes will wipe away your intricacy of the strenuous trek.
Spend time watching gorillas, watch the adults feeding their young ones, brushing and resting as the youngsters play from vines in a pleasurably playful display.
