This tour is the quickest way to visit the mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda. Your journey starts in Kigali, where you will be picked up and driven north to the Virunga Mountain range. In this package we take care of all ground transfers and offer comfortable accommodation to make this a hassle-free and unforgettable experience for you.
A representative of Tiloreza volcanoes ecolodge will pick you up from Kigali today and take you on a scenic drive to the Virunga Mountain range, home of the Mountain Gorilla. Rwanda is known as the land of a thousand hills, and on this drive you will soon see why. On your way to Volcanoes National Park you will be passing over beautiful rolling green hills as far as your eye can see.
Gorilla Tracking is the main highlight of a visit to this park, but you are also in the perfect place for volcano hikes, canoeing, nature walks and other primate tracking.
Accommodation:Tiloreza Volcanoes Ecolodge
Meals & Drinks:
From the lodge, you drive in about 30 minutes to the Office Rwandais du Tourisme et Des Parc Nationaux. The head-ranger will divide you into groups. The Gorillas you will track belong to one of seven habituated family groups who can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day.
Your track will be an exciting journey along forested slopes, entwined vines, bushes and bamboo before you eventually reach the Gorillas’ habitat. En-route, your guide will point out signs of previous Gorilla activity, including dung, nests and chewed bamboo shoots.
The time taken to track the Gorillas can take as little as half an hour to as much as 8 hours! Once the Gorillas have been located, you will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. Coming face-to-face with a Mountain Gorilla is a truly humbling and emotional experience. This is a fantastic and privileged opportunity to get up close and personal with Rwanda’s own ‘Gorillas in the Mist’.
