Overview

In the Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda there are over twenty families of Mountain Gorilla, comprised of around 280 individual gorillas, living on the slopes of the Virunga Volcanoes. Of these twenty families, twelve families are visited with ten families being visited each day. The Parks Authority rotates the families that you trek to see, on a daily basis. For many, seeing gorillas in the wild offers a wildlife experience of a lifetime.

The easiest and most accessible gorilla trekking is the main advantage of a Rwandan safari. After arriving at the capital city of Kigali, you are only a two hours away from the gorilla.

Gorilla groups such as Agashya, Kwitonda, Hirwa and Sabyinyo have proved to be less challenging for most travelers. Trekking a gorilla group in Rwanda can take travelers between 2-5 hours of tracking depending on the location of the gorillagroups/family.
