Pick up from Kigali and Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Upon arrival at Kigali International Airport, our driver/guide will meet you, and your day will begin with a complimentary tour of the city. Kigali city was named in 1907 by Dr. Richard Kandt, Rwanda's first colonial resident governor. Lush green hills surround the city, and it is often referred to as the land of a thousand hills. During the tour, you will have the opportunity to visit interesting spots such as the craft market, the Gisozi genocide memorial site, and the Kigali museum. After the city tour, we will depart for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where we will visit the genocide memorial site en route. You will arrive at your hotel late afternoon and enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at Rushaga Gorilla Haven's Lodge.

Gorilla Tracking in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

After an early breakfast, you will proceed to the national park's headquarters to meet your ranger guides for the day. After completing the park formalities, we will embark on a once-in-a-lifetime experience of tracking mountain gorillas. Once you spot them, you can watch them for one hour. This is perhaps one of the most breathtaking wildlife experiences on earth. You get so close to these magnificent giant primates. You stare at each other blankly, not knowing who to look away first. Tracking the mountain gorillas through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virunga is a magical experience. These massive primates are extremely rare, with fewer than 700 living today. You will get as close as seven meters of them. The tracking may be fairly strenuous, up to six hours or longer at a relatively high altitude.
