Rwanda Gorilla Trekking and Serengeti Safari Guide

Combining Rwanda gorilla trekking and Serengeti safari gives travelers a chance to enjoy both forest and savannah wildlife in one journey. You can start your trip in Rwanda by spending a night in a good hotel in Kigali. These hotels offer comfort and allow you to rest before your adventure.

Preparing for Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda

After breakfast, you travel to Volcanoes National Park in the northwest of Rwanda. This area is remote, so it is important to complete all important activities like money exchange and purchases while still in Kigali. Medical services and banks are limited near the park.

Internet connection may not be strong in the forest. To stay connected, you can use mobile data by buying a local SIM card or sharing internet from your guide’s phone.

Photography is allowed during gorilla trekking. However, you must follow park rules, especially when using cameras and drones. Always ask your guide for guidance before using any equipment.

Accommodation and Lodge Experience

While in Rwanda, you can stay at places like Singita Kwitonda Lodge. Here, visitors enjoy comfort, including private spaces, warm water pools, and quiet surroundings. You can relax while listening to sounds from the forest and birds nearby.

Gorilla Trekking Experience

Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park starts early in the morning. Visitors move with guides and rangers to find gorillas in the forest. Along the way, you see mountain slopes and forest vegetation. Once the gorillas are found, you spend one hour observing them.

Transfer to Serengeti National Park

After your gorilla trekking experience, you travel to Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. This can be done by air for faster travel or by road depending on your plan and budget.

Serengeti Safari and Wildlife Viewing

In Serengeti, you take part in game drives and guided walks. The park is known for large groups of animals such as zebras and wildebeest. The migration usually happens between July and September as animals move in search of food.

During your safari, you may also see other animals and birds. Activities are planned in shifts so that all visitors get a chance to explore.

Accommodation and Meals

Accommodation in Serengeti ranges from simple camps to midrange and luxury lodges. Visitors can enjoy meals at the lodge or in open dining areas after a full day of activities.
