3-Day Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Adventure

The 3-Day Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Adventure is a focused trip to track mountain gorillas in the famous Volcanoes National Park, with Kigali arrival support, two nights near Kinigi, and a full gorilla trek day. It’s the ideal short itinerary for travellers who want Rwanda’s headline experience without a long trip.

You’ll travel in a private 4×4 safari vehicle with a professional English-speaking driver-guide, staying two nights in comfortable accommodation near the park. Your gorilla trekking permit is included — the single biggest cost of any Rwanda gorilla trip (Rwanda permits are US$1,500 per person) — which we secure on your behalf, so your hour with a gorilla family is fully covered.

Safari highlights

The heart of this trip is the trek into Volcanoes National Park to spend a strictly limited, unforgettable hour with a habituated mountain gorilla family — one of the world’s greatest wildlife encounters, set among the misty Virunga volcanoes. There’s also time for a local community experience and optional add-ons like the Dian Fossey hike or Musanze Caves. See our Rwanda gorilla trekking and Volcanoes National Park guides for more.

Good to know
