Tour Overview

Rwanda has transformed itself into Africa most accessible gorilla destination. From Kigali, you can be at the foot of the Virunga volcanoes in just a couple of hours, ready to trek into the bamboo forests.

The gorilla experience here is polished and professional. Rwanda has invested heavily in conservation and tourism infrastructure, and it shows. The lodges are exceptional, the guides are expert, and the forest trails are well-maintained.

This short itinerary is ideal for adding to a longer East African journey, or for time-pressed travelers who want a focused gorilla experience.
