Gorilla Trekking and Transfer Back to Kigali

After breakfast, head to Volcanoes National Park for the much-anticipated gorilla trekking experience. Before trekking, complete the park’s requirements. Once you find the gorillas, you will be allowed to observe them for an hour. It’s an incredible experience to be so close to these gentle giants. Trekking through the lush alpine forest of the Virunga slopes is both challenging and rewarding. In some cases, it may take the whole day to find the gorilla families, especially in muddy conditions. After the trek, return to Kigali.

    OUR TESTIMONIALS

    Discover why travelers keep choosing us for unforgettable escapes

    Uganda felt raw, green, and honest. Gorilla trekking in Bwindi was emotional, but I also loved Queen Elizabeth’s boat safari and quiet village walks. The people made the journey feel personal.

    Emily Carter United Kingdom

    I came for gorillas, but Uganda gave me much more. Murchison Falls was powerful, Kibale’s chimpanzees were lively, and every guide seemed proud to share the country properly.

    Daniel Moore Canada

    I expected the gorilla trekking to be the highlight, and it was. But Uganda’s green hills, Rwanda’s calm roads, and the stories from our guides stayed with me just as much.

    Claire Dubois France

    Rwanda felt easy to travel through, yet full of meaning. Akagera’s wildlife, Nyungwe’s canopy walk, and the gorilla trek all showed different sides of this small, beautiful country.
