3 DaysOverview
The 3-days Rwanda gorilla tour is a brief but very rewarding adventure to its entire visitors. An
excellent package that takes you close to the world’s endangered mountain gorillas in the
volcanoes national park as well as enjoying some community, and city tours. It is in this trip that

species among others.

days safari adventure, before embarking on an 80km journey to the North to Volcanoes National
Park (Parc des National) from Kigali; roughly two hours drive. The guide will take you to visit
the Genocide memorial centre then have lunch and transfer to the park in the afternoon.
Gorilla trekking is one of the most fascinating experiences any one on earth ought not to miss,
after having an early tasty breakfast; the driver guide will take you to the park headquarters at
about 8am for a trekking briefing exercise. After that, embark on the amazing adventure in the
gifted wilderness. This activity requires some physical fitness by the hikers, but with your good
hiking boots, a stick, bottle of water, the event will be made simple and better. On many
occasions, Gorilla trekking lasts for between 2 to 6hours depending on how far the Gorillas have
moved. This is a very interesting experience seeing the primates play, guard each other, feed, and
the silverback interact with its subordinates among others. Other treasures in this jungle include
the golden monkeys, elephants, buffaloes, birds among others.Afterwards, head back to the lodge for lunch and thereafter, visit the twin lakes; Burera and
Ruhondo as well as taking a walk in the community to watch traditional dances of the locals.
