About Gorilla Trekking

Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park takes you deep into Rwanda’s Virunga Mountains for an unforgettable encounter with mountain gorillas. Your adventure begins at Kinigi with a briefing before experienced guides and trackers lead you through bamboo forests and volcanic slopes. Once you find your assigned gorilla family, you spend a memorable hour watching silverbacks, mothers, and youngsters feed, play, groom, and interact in their natural habitat.

Gorilla trekking is available throughout the year, with June to September and December to February often offering drier trail conditions. You can easily reach Volcanoes National Park from Kigali, making it possible to combine gorilla trekking with other Rwanda experiences. For a smoother early-morning start, staying near Kinigi or Musanze the night before your trek is recommended.
