Want to trek gorillas in Rwanda? This 2 days Rwanda gorilla trekking package takes you to Volcanoes National Park in Musanze, the only place where you can see mountain gorillas in Rwanda. Volcanoes National Park shares its perimeter with Mgahinga Gorilla National Park & Virunga National Park. It is home to some of the Virunga Volcano Mountains and shares the Virunga Conservation Area.
This 2 days Rwanda gorilla safari is preferred by tourists who do not want to travel for long distances to see gorillas in the wild. The distance from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park is only 2 hours, which is not the case with some countries. Please see detailed itinerary of this 2 days Rwanda gorilla tour below.
Day 1: Transfer to Volcanoes National Park Musanze
After breakfast at your hotel in Kigali or rather shortly after your arrival at Kigali International Airport, you will be met by our travel guide to start the trip.
Depending on your pickup time, you can choose to carry out a city tour around Kigali before you drive to Volcanoes National Park. When you reach Volcanoes National Park in Musanze, you will check in to your lodge and relax as you prepare for your gorilla trekking experience the next day.
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in PNV & Departure
Have breakfast and transfer to the park headquarters in Kinigi for briefing before making your way onto the mountains to search for your particular gorilla family. Trekking gorillas in Rwanda lasts between 2 hours to 8 hours depending on the mobility of gorillas and how long you take to find them. This time includes a full hour around these primates.
After meeting gorillas, you will return to your starting point, pick your respective gorilla trekking certificates and begin your drive back to Kigali where you will be dropped at your preferred destination or straight at the airport to catch up with your departure flight.
