The 1 Day Gorilla Trek Rwanda starts very early in the morning as early as 5:00 am local time from Kigali city with a pick up by your Rwanda Safari Guide. Inform your hotel to provide early morning breakfast or organize a packed breakfast for you. From your place of residence, you spend about 2 hours on the drive to the park driving through the picturesque backdrop of Rwanda. Arriving at the park, you transfer to the park headquarters in Kinigi where you first have a briefing by on the dos and don’ts of Gorilla trekking in Rwanda by the park warden. By 8:30 am, the park ranger guide will transfer you to the trekking starting point for a Rwanda Gorilla trek.

You will be allocated a Gorilla family to trek alongside 7 other trekkers making a total of 8 people alongside park rangers. The group will take about 2-6 hours in the jungle trekking through the bamboo forest along with armed ranger guides. However, only 1 hour (60 minutes) is spent watching the Mountain Gorillas go along with their daily lives. Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda are known to move for shorter distances and therefore trekking lasts a few hours in most cases. After the 1 hour encounter with the Mountain Gorillas, you return to the park headquarters where you meet your driver-guide for the transfer back to Kigali. Drop off at the place of residence in Kigali city.
