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.
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.
As a specialist Africa tour operator, we handle the all-important gorilla permit, your private vehicle, expert guide, quality lodging, and transfers, so your once-in-a-lifetime trek runs smoothly. Permits are strictly limited and sell out well in advance, so early booking is essential. Contact us to secure your permit and dates.
Please note that gorilla trekking has a minimum age of 15 years, as set by the Rwanda Development Board, so this safari is not suitable for younger children.
