Day 1: Gorilla Trekking at Volcanoes National Park. Travel time +3hrs
At 4:30 am our safari driver guide will pick you up by your driver guide at your hotel in Kigali and drive off to Kinigi. It’s roughly a 3hour long drive to get to the Volcanoes National Park in Ruhengeri, Musanze province which is a habitat to the endangered Mountain gorillas. You can take visually attractive pictures from the different stopovers along the journey. At exactly 7.30 am, we move to the park’s headquarters in Kinigi, where you are briefed by the ranger about the rules and regulations governing Gorilla tracking before you head off to the jungle.
The trek can last from an hour to six hours depending on the gorilla movement, and you will have time to take pictures, and videos for roughly an hour before you return back. You will be given an hour with the gorilla to take as many pictures of your choice and later return and head for an en route lunch along the way in ones of the local restaurant, before driving back to Kigali and dropped at the hotel. End of service!
