How to organise a
gorilla trekking safari in Rwanda. When to book gorilla permit for Rwanda
2 days Gorilla trekking in Rwanda may be one of the shortest
African holidays that you can arrange on short notice. Gorilla tracking in
Uganda normally takes a minimum of 3 days whether driving or flying for gorilla
tracking in Bwindi forest National Park. The difference with Rwanda is that
Kigali Airport is about 2 hours and a half from Ruhengeri the main gorilla
trekking province.
Day1: Drive to
Ruhengeri for gorilla trekking
Early in the morning, your driver guide will be ready to
pick you from your overnight hotel and drive you to Volcanoes National park. This
park is the one of the highly protected homes of the mountain gorillas.
Mountain gorillas are some of the still surviving inhabitants of prehistoric
era. They entirely feed on foliage and live in gorilla trekking groups under
the leadership of a silverback.

Day 2: Gorilla trekking In Volcanoes National Park
Rise up early for breakfast and head to the ranger station
for briefing. Gorillas live in thick Virunga forest and entirely survive on what
is provided by the forest. Gorillas are highly susceptible to human
communicable diseases so it is best to stay behind in case you have any. They have
a cohesive family bond and highly respect there leader the silverback. After
briefing, you will be lead into the forest to start searching for the gorillas
in the company of an armed ranger guide. The Rwanda trek is usually done on
steep slopes and the time of finding the gorillas is not known since they keep
moving in search of food and other eats. When you finally get to see them, stay
with them and enjoy there company for about 1 hour. Drive to Kigali airport
after wards to catch up with you home bound flight after gorilla tracking in Rwanda.
