Itinerary

  1. On the trekking day, you arrive early at the park headquarters in Kinigi for a briefing by park rangers, where you are assigned to a specific gorilla family and group. Accompanied by experienced guides and trackers, you then hike through forested slopes of the Virunga Mountains, a trek that can last from one to several hours depending on the gorillas’ location. Once the gorillas are found, visitors are allowed to spend one unforgettable hour observing them at close range, following strict rules to protect both the animals and trekkers.

About Kigali

Kigali is Rwanda's capital, a tidy city on green hills in the middle of the country, with memorials, craft markets and routes to gorilla country.

Kigali spreads across several hills in the heart of Rwanda, at about 1,500 metres, so the air is mild all year. The Kigali Genocide Memorial tells the story of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi and honours those buried there. The Kandt House Museum holds natural history displays in the house of the German colonial resident Richard Kandt, and the Inema Arts Centre shows contemporary Rwandan art.
