3-Day Exclusive Gorilla Tracking in Rwanda

Day 1: Welcome to Rwanda

Hail Tours representative will pick up from the airport/hotel and take you on a scenic drive of the Virunga mountain range, home of the Mountain Gorillas. Rwanda is known s the land of thousand hills and on this drive you will soon see why. On your way to the Volcanoes National Park, you will be passing over beautiful rolling green hills as far as your eyes can see.

Gorilla trekking is the main highlight of a visit to this park, but you are also in the perfect place for volcano hikes and other primate tracking.

Main Destination: Volcanoes National Park (Gorillas)

Meals plan:

• All meals included
• Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Encountering the rare and endangered mountain gorillas is an experience of a lifetime.

In the company of an experienced park ranger you will be tracking the whereabouts of one of the habituated family groups who live in the park and can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day. Your gorilla tracking experience will be an exciting, yet challenging, journey along forested (sometimes muddy and slippery) slopes, tangled vines, thick vegetation and bamboo forests before you reach the territory of these gentle giants.

En-route, your ranger will point out telltale signs of previous gorilla activity like dung, nests and chewed bamboo shoots. Depending on the location of the gorillas on any given day the walk can take anything from 1 to 7 hours. Once the family of gorillas have been located, settle in to the environment and enjoy the hour you have to quietly observe these fascinating primates whose habits and mannerisms remind us so much of our own.
