Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park

Wake up early and enjoy a hearty breakfast before heading to the Volcanoes National Park headquarters at 7:00 AM. After a short briefing with the park rangers about the day's trek, you will be ready to embark on an exciting journey to track the mountain gorillas.

The trek, which may take 2 to 6 hours depending on the gorillas' location, is a physically challenging but rewarding experience. As you move through the lush forest, your guides will share their knowledge of the flora and fauna, and finally, you will come face-to-face with a gorilla family. You’ll have one hour to observe and photograph these majestic creatures in their natural habitat—an experience you will never forget. In the afternoon, you have the option to visit the Dian Fossey Foundation, where you can learn more about the pioneering conservationist and the ongoing efforts to protect mountain gorillas. After your day's adventures, return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
