Mountain Gorillas Of Rwanda
4 days - from $2715
Trek to visit mountain gorillas on this powerful and moving journey
Get up close and personal with mountain gorillas amid the steep bamboo thickets and picturesque volcanic peaks of Parc National des Volcans. You’ll witness protective, aloof silverbacks overseeing their family, placid but vigilant mothers tending their babies and playful, curious infants learning about their new environment. Observing their strangely familiar faces, distinct personalities and actions in such close proximity is spine-tingling. There are several optional treks the following day – choose to experience another gorilla group, search for endangered golden monkeys or hike to Dian Fossey’s grave and research centre. We cap off our Rwandan visit with a city tour of Kigali. Easily connected with another African safari, this inspiring, powerful experience is not to be missed.
