Detailed 4 Day Rwanda Gorilla Tour

Day 1: Kigali – Parc Nationale Des Volcanoes

Our Rwanda safari rep will meet you in the morning. This will be at the Airport or your hotel in Kigali. You will be briefed on this 4-day Rwanda gorilla tour. This will be followed by departure from Kigali. You are heading to Parc Nationale des Volcanes.

About Volcanoes National Park

The Volcanoes Park is part of a contiguous 433km² Trans frontier conservation unit. This also includes the Virunga National Park and Mgahinga National Park. The latter two protects the DRC and Ugandan sectors of the Virunga. 

Vocanoes National Park altitude ranges from 2400km to 4507.  It has a chain of steep, all free-standing mountains. They are linked by fertile saddles which were formed by solidified lava flows. This is one of the most stirring and memorable sights in East Africa.

Parc De Volcano’s Biodiversity

The park reopened to tourism in June 1993, but it was evacuated in April 1994 because of the genocide. Later in 1995, it once again reopened to tourism, only to close again a few months later. Gorilla tracking was finally resumed on a permanent basis in July 1999. Since then the number of tourists visiting the Virungas had increased.

You will venture into the forest trails in search of the apes. Your trek follows the path of the mountain gorillas assigned to you.  

The trek can be quite tough due to terrain and time taken. You can take approximately 2-8 hours to undertake the trekking. Return to your lodge in time for dinner and overnight. This will be at Le’ Bambou Gorilla Safari Lodge.

Nyungwe forest Rwanda is the source of Africa’s great rivers. Rain that falls on the east side feeds the Nile and on the west runs to the Congo. The Congo-Nile Divide is a mountain range that runs north to south through Rwanda.

Nyungwe receives more than 2000mm a year of rain. Recently, Nyungwe opened a canopy walk, the only one of its kind in East Africa. It is a wonderful vantage point to view the incredible biodiversity of this rare forest.

Nyungwe Forest is a high-altitude, mountainous rain forest in southern Rwanda. This conservation area was established in 2005.  This forest, the largest mountain rainforest in east Africa. 

Nyungwe hosts 13 species of primates including the Angola colobus. These primates are found in groups of 300-400 animals that is an attribute unique to Nyungwe.
