Itinerary

Volcanoes National Park Rwanda

5 hours Admission included

Our accredited guide/driver will meet you at your hotel at 4:30 am and drive to the park.

It’s a 112 km 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 and have a cup of coffee.

At exactly 8.30 am, we move to the park’s headquarters in Kinigi Village where you are briefed by the ranger about the rules and regulations governing Gorilla tracking.

You are distributed into different groups and then sent off into the forest.

The hike is quite strenuous but rewarding once you set your eyes on the gentle mountain gorillas.

You will watch them carry about their day-to-day routine like the juveniles playing, mothers feeding their young ones and the Silverbacks taking watch out for their families avoiding any predator.

After, you will trek back to the starting point and transfer back to Kigali.
