4 Days Rwanda Gorilla trek

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.

Feedback from guests who toured Rwanda during Winter.

Tori B | Traveled in February

The trip was amazing over all. Not really under the control of the trip but we had two group members that were quite unpleasant to be around. One 9Rick0 talked all the time and even answered questions we directed at the guides. They suggested to us that we switch up what trucks we sat in but that never happened, so we were always stuck in his truck - ideally the CEOs would really enforce this recommendation.

WOW WOW WOW, this was the trip of a lifetime! I felt like I got an in-depth experience in each of the countries we visited. I didn’t expect to see so many animals so up-close and I also got to know a bit about some of the local culture and tribes in the areas we visited. Seeing two species of wild apes plus elephants and big cats and zebra and hippos and antelope and beautiful birds was astounding!

Great CEOs and drivers who were all well-organised, fun, enthusiastic and responsible and who went out of their way to make the trip enjoyable. Accommodation and food was good. I was able to upgrade to a room in the one area when we had to share bathrooms. As a 75 year old I was very happy that, by hiring 2 porters, I was able to see the gorillas. I would recommend all our guides and drivers highly.

It was a great trip. My only critique is that there was some petty items especially tipping and having to purchase the final lunch. We all found this to be petty. If tips were included it would be easier. Very minor issue, great trip!
