‹

Kigali: Mountain Gorilla Trek & Volcanoes National Park Day Trip★★★★★★★★★★ 4.64 (11)15hYou start before dawn from Kigali, drive to Volcanoes National Park for a ranger briefing, then trek into the forest to spend an hour with mountain gorillas. After lunch, you visit a local guardian village for cultural context before returning to Kigali by evening. The permit, transport, meals and guide are all included — you just show up ready to walk.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see mountain gorillas without arranging permits, transport or timing yourself — the early start and fixed itinerary pack the trek, lunch and cultural visit into a single day from Kigali, which is what makes it possible to do all three without staying overnight in the park.Free cancellationTravelers' pickfromUS$ 2,699View ›

Mountain Gorilla Tracking Volcanoes Park: One Hour with Gorillas★★★★★★★★★★ 5.00 (8)12hA private 12-hour mountain gorilla tracking tour in Volcanoes National Park puts you on foot in the forest with a professional guide in search of endangered gorillas found only in the Virunga Massif region of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The trek itself takes 7 to 10 hours; once a gorilla family is located, you spend one hour observing them in their natural habitat. A tracking permit is required and paid separately at $1,500 USD for international visitors or $500 USD for African residents. The tour includes an English or French-speaking guide, air-conditioned vehicle transport and bottled water; minimum age is 15, and travelers need a high level of physical fitness.Is it for me?This is a private tour suited to travelers in good physical condition who are prepared for a full day of uphill trekking in forest terrain—the 7 to 10 hour trek is what makes the one-hour gorilla encounter possible, and the demanding pace is what keeps groups small and the experience intimate.Free cancellationfromUS$ 459View ›
