Today you will experience a once-in-a lifetime wildlife encounter with the wild mountain gorillas of Rwanda. After an early breakfast you’ll be driven to the Parc National des Volcans HQ where you’ll meet your guide who will brief you about your trek and the various aspects of ‘gorilla etiquette’. Then your professional guide will lead you deep into the forest in search of your allocated gorilla family.

The high altitude and steep, slippery trails and the humidity under the forest canopy can make the trek challenging, but it’s definitely worth the effort to spend time with wild mountain gorillas in their natural habitat.
