Classic Gorilla Trekking

About This Journey

Few wildlife encounters on Earth compare to standing just metres away from a mountain gorilla in its natural habitat. With fewer than 1,100 individuals remaining in the wild, this is not just a safari — it's a rare, emotional, and life-changing experience. This curated package brings you face-to-face with mountain gorillas in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park — the most accessible gorilla destination in Africa, just 2–3 hours from Kigali International Airport. Permit costs ($1,500 per person), transfers, guiding, and luxury accommodation are all included.

Highlights

◆ Gorilla trekking permit included

◆ Luxury lodge accommodation

◆ Expert naturalist guide
