Itinerary:
Day 1 Kigali to Volcanoes NP
Upon arrival transfer to your hotel near Volcanoes National Park. This tour includes a stay at 3★ Mountain Gorilla View Lodge butsee below for other options. If time permits, stop en route at the town of Musanze to take a wander around the central market. Alternatively, if you arrive early we can arrange a fascinating tour of Kigali and its sombre but worthwhile Genocide Memorial, which honours the memory of the more than one million Rwandans who were killed in the 1994 genocide. Please ask your consultant for details.
Day 2 Volcanoes NP to Kigali
Join your group for briefing on gorilla trekking etiquette before entering Volcanoes National Park. This beautiful park was the base for the ground-breaking work of Dian Fossey in the 1960s and today has around 10 habituated gorilla groups of up to 33 members. The trek can be tiring and may take up to 6 hours depending on where the gorillas are located, but the sight of these amazing primates in their natural habitat makes it all worthwhile. Once they have been spotted, you will spend a fascinating hour in their company before trekking back. After lunch drive back to Kigali for your final night in Rwanda. If you have the time, why not add an extra day to this tour and experience the magic of a second gorilla trek?
