1 Day Gorilla Trekking
One-Day Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda is an unforgettable adventure that offers tourists the opportunity to encounter and observe mountain gorillas in their natural habitat, the Volcanoes National Park. The experience begins with an early pick-up from Kigali, followed by a 2 hours 20 minutes drive to the park headquarters in Kinigi. After a briefing from the park warden and a park ranger guide, the trekking begins. Tourists are allowed a one-hour encounter with the gorillas, during which they can observe and photograph these gentle giants as they go about their daily activities. The trekking experience varies in length and difficulty, depending on the location of the gorilla family and terrain conditions. After the trek, tourists return to Kigali with their guide, bringing back memories of this unique and once-in-a-lifetime experience. The cost of One-Day Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda includes an English driver guide, entry fees and taxes, gorilla permit, and safari transport. Exclusions include purchases such as international flights and visas, laundry expenses, porter airfares, alcoholic drinks, insurance, telephone bills, cigarettes, shopping, and tips for guides. Tourists are advised to wear comfortable clothing such as waterproof trousers and sleeved shirts, gardening gloves for protection against rain or biting insects, hiking shoes with good grip for uneven terrain, insect repellent for mosquitoes and other biting insects, a rainproof hat or cap for sun protection during rainy weather or strong sunlight, a waterproof zip lock bag to protect valuables from rain or moisture damage during trekking.

At 4:30 am, our safari driver guide will pick you up and drive you to the park to start your 1-day gorilla trekking trip in Rwanda. It’s a 2-hour drive to get to the Volcanoes National Park in Ruhengeri, Musanze Province, which is a habitat for the endangered mountain gorillas. You can take visually appealing pictures from the various stopovers along the journey while enjoying a cup of coffee at nearby local restaurants. At exactly 7.30 am, we move to the park’s headquarters in Kinigi Village, where you are briefed by the ranger about the rules and regulations governing gorilla tracking before you head off to the jungle. The trek can last from an hour to six hours, depending on gorilla movement, but because you will be flying the same day, we will recommend a nearby family that is easy to trek. You will be given an hour with the gorilla to take as many pictures as possible before returning to the park headquarters and driving back to the airport for your flight, stopping for lunch at one of the local restaurants.
