Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park

You will head to the Volcanoes National Park gate immediately after breakfast to get a briefing about the gorilla trek. The national park guide will present what to expect during the gorilla trek. The national park guide will assign the gorilla trekking group during the pre-trekking briefing. Other visitors will likely join you. The gorilla trek can take a few hours, depending on how far the gorillas are inside the forest. In the afternoon, you can learn about the local culture and history by visiting the Ibyiwacu Cultural Village in Kinigi centre, right at the national park boundary.
