Trip Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival & Transfer to PNV
Meet and greet on arrival at airport or at your hotel and get briefed about the tour. Depart for PNV, one of the only four national parks in the world where mountain gorillas can be seen. The journey north goes through the beautiful terraced hillsides that characterise much of Rwanda’s landscape, gradually climbing to the base of the awesome volcanoes, sometimes with as many as five peaks visible. Dinner and overnight at Gorillas View Hotel(luxury)/La Palme Hotel(Deluxe)/Kinigi guest house(Budget).
Day 2: Gorilla Tracking in PNV
Go gorilla tracking in Parc National des Volcans (subject to permit availability at the time of booking). Tracking the gorillas through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virungas is a magical experience. If you are lucky you can get to the gorillas, spend an hour with them, and be back at the base in time for a late lunch! Some gorilla families however are more elusive and tracking can take a full day, especially when it is wet and muddy.
In the afternoon, return to Kigali, arriving in the evening.
