On the first day of your 2-Day Rwanda Gorilla Safari, your guide will pick you up from the airport, hotel, or apartment, warmly welcoming you to this short yet memorable adventure. After a brief introduction to the itinerary, you'll begin with a city tour of Kigali, visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial, a deeply moving site where you’ll learn about the history of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. The tour also includes stops at local craft stores and markets, offering a glimpse into Rwandan culture.

After enjoying lunch en route, you will embark on a scenic drive to Volcanoes National Park, taking approximately two to three hours through Rwanda’s picturesque countryside. Upon arrival at the park, you’ll check into your lodge and have the remainder of the evening to unwind before dinner and an overnight stay.

Accommodation options include:
Luxury: Mountain Gorilla View Lodge
Mid-range: Le Bambou Lodge
Budget: Muhabura Hotel

On the second day of your 2-Day Rwanda Gorillas Safari, you'll rise early to a hearty breakfast at the lodge. After checking out, your guide will transfer you to the park's briefing point, where you'll receive important information about the gorilla trekking experience in Volcanoes National Park. Along with your packed lunch, you will join a group of up to eight trekkers and be assigned a specific gorilla family to track. The journey through the forest, accompanied by experienced rangers, can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours, depending on the gorillas' movements in their natural habitat.

Once the gorillas are located, you’ll have the incredible opportunity to spend one magical hour observing these majestic creatures up close—watching them feed, play, and interact within their family. Capture unforgettable moments through photos and videos as you marvel at their behaviors in the wild. Afterward, you’ll trek back to the starting point, where you’ll be awarded a certificate for your participation in the gorilla trek.

Your guide will then be ready to drive you back to Kigali, where you’ll be dropped off either at your hotel or at Kigali International Airport in time for your departure flight, marking the end of your remarkable Rwandan adventure.
