1-Day Gorilla Trekking Tour in Rwanda from Kigali
Overview
Has it been on your bucket list to track Gorillas in Rwanda. Well if you have a full day in Rwanda, it is very possible to track Gorillas in one Day in Rwanda. However it is a little bit hectic as the trip starts very early in the morning with departures from Kigali of as early as 5:am. But we shouldn't forget that it is worth the struggle.

Day 1
As early as 4:30 am our representative from Nakra Safaris Uganda will pick you up at your hotel in Kigali and drive off to Kinigi. It’s roughly 3hour long drive to get to the Volcanoes National Park in Ruhengeri, Musanze province which is a habitat to the endangered Mountain gorillas. You can take visually attractive pictures from the different stopovers along the journey. At exactly 7.30 am, we move to the park’s headquarters in Kinigi, where you are briefed by the ranger about the rules and regulations governing Gorilla tracking before you head off to the jungle. The trek can last from an hour to six hours depending on the gorilla movement, and you will have time to take pictures, and videos for roughly an hour before you return back. You will be given an hour with the gorilla to take as many pictures of your choice and later return and head for an en route lunch along the way in ones of the local restaurant, before driving back to Kigali and dropped at the hotel.
