Rwanda Gorilla Trekking
Rwanda is iconic for its mountain gorillas, a legacy of Dian Fossey's pioneering work that sparked efforts to safeguard these majestic creatures in Volcanoes National Park, cementing the country's reputation as a haven for gorilla conservation.
Volcanoes National Park offers a unique chance to trek and observe gorillas up close, making for an unforgettable wildlife experience. But Rwanda's natural beauty extends beyond
Volcanoes National Park. Explore Nyungwe Forest National Park for encounters with chimps, colobus monkeys, and a thrilling canopy walk. Or visit Akagera National Park, a conservation haven in the east, home to iconic African species like elephants, lions, leopards, and giraffes. Rwanda's rich biodiversity makes it a wildlife lover's paradise.
Trekking Permit
To go gorilla trekking, you'll need to secure a highly sought-after permit, which grants you a limited time with a gorilla family. Booking well in advance is crucial due to limited availability.
Be sure to plan ahead to ensure access. Please note that age restrictions apply: 15 years for gorilla trekking.
Permit costs $1,500 in Rwanda
