Short on time but eager to experience the magic of mountain gorillas? This 1-day gorilla trek is the perfect adventure for travelers with a tight schedule. If you have more time, consider our 2-day or 3-day gorilla trek for a more immersive experience.
This trip starts and ends in Kigali, Rwanda’s capital, requiring an early morning departure to Ruhengeri, where your gorilla trekking journey begins. A PNV gorilla permit is included in the package.
Your gorilla adventure starts with an early morning pickup from your hotel or Kigali International Airport by our expert guide. Enjoy a scenic drive to Volcanoes National Park, home to the majestic mountain gorillas.
Upon arrival at the park headquarters, receive a detailed briefing on gorilla trekking guidelines, including the dos and don’ts for your encounter. Then, embark on your trek through the lush Virunga slopes in search of a habituated gorilla family.
Once you find the gorillas, spend a magical hour observing them in their natural habitat. Capture unforgettable moments as you watch them feed, play, and interact.
After your trek, return to the base for a late lunch, then drive back to Kigali, marking the end of an unforgettable experience. Please note that some gorilla families are more elusive, and tracking can take a full day, especially in wet and muddy conditions.
