About This Tour
Embark on a journey unlike any other and hike deep into Rwanda’s volcanic highlands to meet the world’s last remaining mountain gorillas. This once-in-a-lifetime experience begins with an early departure from Kigali, winding through breathtaking scenery here in the Land of a Thousand Hills as you arrive at Volcanoes National Park headquarters. Led by expert trackers and a park guide, you’ll trek into the mystical Virunga Mountains, where the gorillas call home. You will spend an hour observing these critically endangered mountain gorillas just a few meters away from them. Mountain gorillas share a remarkable 97% DNA match to humans. After your unforgettable encounter, we will provide you with curated options for how to spend the next few hours before returning to Kigali. For those seeking deeper immersion, overnight extensions are available.
