Are you in Kigali for your short business trip and you are interested to visit the mountain gorillas in the Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda? Take the 1 Day gorilla trekking tour in Rwanda which is best done when you are already in Rwanda since it requires very early pick up and late drop off. Set off at 4:30 am, for 2 hours picturesque drive to Volcanoes National Park found in Musanze province, habitat to endangered mountain gorillas. On arrival, enjoy your cup of coffee as you wait for the park headquarters officials for briefing by the park warden.
At 8:30am the tour guide will transfer you to the starting point of the gorilla trek Rwanda. The gorilla groups are allocated to you at random at the park headquarters. However, our experienced guides have over time built a strong relationship with the park wardens. They normally talk to them before time and express the clients’ interests in specific gorilla groups. They normally get a positive response over this. The trek may last from 1-8 hours depending on the movements of the gentle giants.
Meet and stay with the gorillas for a maximum of one hour, look into the eyes of a large silver back gorilla and he’ll look back with a thinking, intelligent gaze, mindful that you’re another individual. Any apprehensions or nerves you might have had during your trek will melt away the minute you see your gorilla family. Gorilla trekking safaris offer a magical encounter that transcends any other ‘wildlife’ experience we know in Rwanda.
A large silver back male gorilla can weigh three times the weight of the average man, but the apprehension usually vanishes when you see the group. Often the gorillas will be spread around a small area of dense vegetation. They’ll continue with their feeding and interactions, nonchalant about their visitors, though watching you with interest.
Occasionally one, often a playful youngster, will approach you with curiosity – sometimes coming so close that you’ll have to move away. Later ascend back to the park headquarters for a transfer back to Kigali.
