Gorilla Trekking Experience and Afternoon Cultural Immersion

Prepare for a mountain gorilla trekking experience with long trousers, a long-sleeved shirt, waterproof shoes, a jacket, a hat, and gloves. After breakfast, attend a pre-trek briefing at the park center. In a group of eight, you'll track a specific gorilla family, guided by armed rangers. The trek duration varies from 45 minutes to 6 hours. Encounter wildlife like forest elephants, primates, and endemic birds, with your guide providing insights. Spend an hour observing the gorillas, respecting their space and avoiding direct eye contact with the silverback.
After the trek, visit Ibyawacu Cultural Village for a cultural extravaganza. Experience Rwanda's traditions through dances, poems, and stories, learn about traditional dress, and witness cultural ceremonies. Return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
