Tour step
You'll be collected from the airport.
Day 1
You will start very early, around 4:00 AM or even earlier, as Kigali is a distance away to Bwindi, and the trekking experience typically starts in the morning. You'll travel from Kigali to the nearest border crossing into Uganda usually Gatuna/Katuna. Ensure you have all the necessary travel documents to ease border crossing. On arrival at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park headquarters, you'll attend a briefing about the gorilla trekking experience. You'll also be assigned a gorilla group to visit. The actual gorilla trekking tour experience in Bwindi can be physically demanding, as you'll be hiking through dense forest, often on steep terrain. The duration of the trek can vary, and it may take several hours to locate the gorilla group you've been assigned to. After finding a gorilla group, you'll be allowed just1 hour in their presence. Return to the park headquarters, and transfer back to Kigali. Lunch (Breakfast & dinner not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

5.0/5Renai, recently prepared a bespoke trip for myself and son over 13 days. We can’t thank them enough for providing us with memories of a lifetime. Our guide and driver “Living” embraced our every need and want during the trip. He kept us entertained and was always seeking feedback on how he could assist us and make our trip better. I would highly recommend Renai to anyone wanting to experience the real Africa.

The tour was well organised with really good communication . Being able to text the company and get immediate responses was so helpful. The best part of the tour was my guide Precious. He went above and beyond to ensure I had the best time . Would highly recommend

It was such A Memorable 4-Day Adventure with a Vibrant Guide! As students short on time during a study conference, we couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend our break than with Renai Adventures. Our 4-day Rwanda safari was perfectly tailored to fit our tight schedule, allowing us to explore the country’s stunning natural beauty. The highlight of our trip was trekking to see the majestic mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park – a truly humbling and unforgettable experience. We also enjoyed an exciting game drive in Akagera National Park, where we spotted elephants, giraffes, and zebras roaming freely. Our guide, Mr. Yagala, was a standout – lively, engaging, and full of fascinating stories. He kept us entertained throughout the trip while ensuring everything ran smoothly. This adventure was short but packed with incredible memories, and we can’t recommend Renai Adventures enough!
