You'll have a guided nature walk in the forest to see a variety of animals and some of the three hundred bird species found here, which include the Rwenzori turaco and black and white casqued hornbill. You will go on an escorted walk in search of large groups of Colobus monkeys —sometimes as many as 400 in a group. Or, you can go chimp tracking.

Mountain Gorilla Tracking in Volcanoes National Park

Day 5

Mountain Gorilla Tracking in Volcanoes National Park

You'll have breakfast and go to the park offices for a briefing. Afterward, you'll set off in the forest for gorilla trekking. A thrilling trek through the refined foothills of the Virungas provides inspiring views in all directions. Then, suddenly, the trail enters the park, engrossing trekkers in the strange closeness of the rainforest, alive with the calls of colorful birds and chattering of the rare golden monkey, and besieged with fresh spoor of the mountains’ elusive populations of buffalos and elephants. Through gaps in the forest canopy, the marvelous peaks are sighted, easily easy to get to, and among the uppermost in Africa, indicating an ascent. Gorilla trekking is quite a strenuous but worthwhile encounter of these gentle giants. The enthusiasm of your coming across these apes will wipe away your intricacy of the strenuous trek. You'll spend 1 hour watching gorillas. You will have a packed lunch or hot lunch at the lodge depending on the time you finish tracking.

Diligence, courtesy and professionalism

Gama Travel and Tour Agency hosted my stay in Kigali during an academic collaboration, ensuring all my travel needs, city touring and even preparation for participation in the Kicukiro commemoration event on April 14th, during which they provided personalized accompaniment. As a social science professor and researcher, I cannot thank Gama Travel Tour and Agency enough for enabling both my professional and personal enrichment. This is in addition to the safety and enjoyment their services provide. Thanks to Gama, all phases of my stay and work went smoothly.

An unforgettable safari experience and warm welcome in Rwanda

I traveled to Rwanda in April as part of a school project, and I was warmly welcomed right from the moment I arrived at the airport by the Gama Travel team. We truly loved our experience and completely fell in love with Rwanda. The people are kind and welcoming, and the country is a beautiful place to discover. During one of our days off, we had the opportunity to take a guided tour in Akagera National Park with our guide Samuel Bikorimana. He is an outstanding guide who ensured our safety and comfort throughout the entire day. The Gama Travel team arranged transportation from our hotel, which made everything smooth and easy. Once there, Samuel demonstrated great professionalism and genuine kindness. We felt very comfortable from the start and had an amazing safari experience with him. We were able to see giraffes, zebras, elephants, and more. He really made an effort to help us see as much as possible and shared a lot of knowledge about the park and its wildlife, which made the experience even more meaningful. Samuel’s passion, professionalism, and dedication made this safari truly unforgettable. A big thank you to the entire Gama Travel team for their excellent service and kindness. Our trip to Rwanda will stay with us forever.

Safari or Bust

Our team from Slovakia visited Rwanda in January 2026, and the experience was exceptional from beginning to end. A big thanks to Gama Travel and Tour Agency for their professionalism and outstanding coordination throughout our stay. From the warm and well-organized at Kigali International Airport to an engaging and informative city tour of Kigali, everything was handled seamlessly. The team was punctual, friendly, and highly knowledgeable, ensuring our group felt comfortable and well taken care of at all times. A major highlight of our trip was the safari at Akagera National Park. The experience was truly unforgettable—rich in wildlife, beautifully organized, and guided by experts who made sure we had the best possible sightings. From the stunning landscapes to the incredible diversity of animals, it was a memorable adventure for our entire group. What stood out most was the agency’s strong commitment to hospitality, safety, and delivering an authentic Rwandan experience. As a group, we were impressed by the country’s cleanliness, organization, and the warmth of its people. We highly recommend Gama Travel and Tour Agency to anyone planning to visit Rwanda, whether individually or as a group. They go above and beyond to create a smooth, enjoyable, and truly unforgettable journey.
