Rwanda is not only known for its stunning landscapes but also for its mountain gorillas, an endangered species of eastern gorillas that are found in the Volcanoes National Park. Join us on this four-day adventure and get a chance to come face to face with these lovely apes. This short trip is perfect for travelers who are short on time but don’t want to miss out on the wildlife experience of a lifetime.
We will pick you up on arrival at the airport and drive you to your hotel in the city. The next morning we head to Volcanoes National Park. Gorilla trekking, the highlight and main activity of this trip, is on day 3. The last day of your safari starts with a drive back to Kigali, where the trip ends.
Trek through dense forests in search of one of man's closest relatives. Although the journey can be quite tiring for some, the rewards of seeing these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat is worth it. The trekking can last two to seven hours depending on the gorilla group you have been assigned and where they stayed the night before.
This guided, 14-day trip will take you to some of the best Rwandan attractions, blending history and culture with wildlife and nature. Explore the savannahs of Akagera and head out to discover the primates in Nyungwe National Park, home to one of the largest tropical rainforest in the country.
Enjoy a boat cruise on Lake Ihema and take in the surreal views of Lake Kivu. You will also summit to Mount Bisoke during this tour and trek through jungles in search of elusive golden monkeys as well as chimpanzees, one of our closest primate relatives.

Excellent tour where close encounters with a variety of animals, most notably Mountain Gorillas, are virtually guaranteed (with all the planning involved, you'd be extremely unlucky not to see Gorillas in Bwindi).
On the tour you also find out about the efforts made in conserving these rare animals and how that sometimes impacts on the human residents in the area both positively and negatively. The formation of several community groups, particularly focused on providing education and sustainable employment, particularly for women, is also shown
