Overview
If you have a limited time in Rwanda, this is for you to explore Rwanda’s top attraction-Mountain gorillas and thanks the short driving distances you can do the 2 Days Rwanda Gorilla Safari. Start from Kigali and end in Kigali.
Day 1- Transfer to Volcanoes National park –Possibly stop over at Genocide memorial museum
On this day, Pick up from either airport or hotel by our company tour guide and will brief you about your safari. Depending on time, you may then depart for Kigali for a city tour to the Genocide memorial, have lunch in Kigali and later drive to Ruhengeri–Volcanoes national park.
Dinner and overnight stay at One & Only Gorilla Nest (Luxury), Mountain Gorilla View Lodge (Mid-range), Muhabura Hotel (Budget).
Day 2- Mountain Gorilla Tracking at Volcanoes National Park and transfer back to Kigali
Early morning rise from the lodge, you drive into the park about 30 minutes to the Office. The head ranger of the will divide you into groups based on interest and fitness. From the office your driver/guide will take you as close as possible to the starting point of your tracking. You will track the Gorillas of one of the habituated groups who can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day.
Prepare for an exciting journey along forested slopes, entwined vines, bushes and bamboo before you eventually reach the gorillas. 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 located, you will be allowed a maximum of one hour with the gorillas. Coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla is a 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’, the driver guide will then transfer you back to Kigali to be dropped at your point of call.
