Epic Scenery, Wildlife Encounters Trek misty volcanoes and come face to face with wild gorillas on this private-guided Rwanda journey, enriched by deep history and lush, soul-stirring landscapes.

Trip Overview:

For most travellers, a trip to Rwanda means tracking gorillas. However, only 8 permits are issued each day to visit each of the 10 families habituated for tourists. The trek can be strenuous for many, but the reward is nothing short of transformative. Gorillas are sighted by over 90% of visitors, many of whom will as close as 10 meters to a family.

Spend 3 days walking in the footsteps of Dian Fossey in Volcanoes National Park. You’ll also visit the Genocide Museum for a sobering look at Rwanda's brutal recent history.
