3-Day Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Tour
The 3-Day Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Safaris gives you a great opportunity to visit Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda’s home to the highest population of endangered mountain gorillas and other primate species. The park sits in the northwestern part of Rwanda and covers a small piece of land, covering an area of 62 square miles; part of it consists of rainforests found at the foot of five volcanoes. These include: Muhabura, Sabinyo, Karisimbi, Bisoke, and Gahinga. Gorilla trekking is a major activity done in Volcanoes National Park, and meeting up with these unique creatures is a once-in-a-lifetime, life-changing experience.
Note: Gorilla permits in Rwanda costs USD1500 per person.
