Gorilla trekking and transfer back to Kigali

Your gorilla-trekking experience will begin in the morning after a hearty breakfast. You will drive to the park headquarters where you will meet the park ranger-guide who will first take you through a briefing about the do's and don'ts while tracking. He will then lead you to the forest to trek these endangered mountain gorillas.

The trekking lasts from an hour up to 8 hours, depending on where the gorilla family will be spotted because they keep moving to look for food. It will not bore you as you will be enjoying the calls of the birds and watching other primates as you search for the endangered mountain gorillas. After a successful trek, embark on your journey back to Kigali. You will arrive in time for your connecting flight.
