Day 1

With your packed lunch and breakfast, we will pick you from your hotel by 5:00 am early morning to head to Kinigi where the volcanoes national park offices are located. The drive is approximately 2-2,5 hours through a beautiful mountainous countryside, which will confirm to you why Rwanda is referred to as “The Land of a thousand hills”.
You will arrive at the Kinigi offices by 7:00 am in time for the usual briefing from a head guide on the rules and procedures to be followed while trekking mountain gorillas. Once you are done with the briefing, you can then proceed to track the gorilla family. Spotting mountain gorillas is breathtaking and you could spend hours just watching the little ones roll around and play – Unfortunately, you will only have one hour with these mighty apes coming closer to you.

After gorilla trekking you will descend the forest and head back to Kigali reaching late in the evening to catch up with your flight or drop you off to your hotel.
