4 Days Gorilla Trekking Rwanda Tour

Day 1: Kigali City Tour – Transfer to Musanze/ Ruhengeri

A Gorilla Adventure Tours safari guide will greet you at your hotel in the morning and brief you on your trip. The guide will take you on a tour of Kigali, Rwanda’s capital city which was named in 1907 by Dr. Richard Kandt, the first colonial resident governor of Rwanda. It is the main administrative and economic centre of Rwanda. Surrounded by lush hills of green, it is the cleanest city in the region. On the tour, you will visit an artisan shopping centre to view and purchase local arts and crafts, visit the Kigali Museum and learn the history of Kigali’s and Rwanda’s pre-colonial and colonial period as well as the colonial masters in Rwanda, tour around the city and see firsthand the post-genocide development and expansion of Kigali and visit the 1994 Gisozi Genocide Memorial site.

You will then proceed to Musanze / Ruhengeri through the magnificent, hilly countryside which gives Rwanda its stature as “the Land of a Thousand Hills” and check into your hotel for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park.

Your driver/guide will transfer you early in the morning to the park offices for pre-trek briefing for all guests. Following your trek, you will visit Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village, based in the community bordering Parc National des Volcans. At the village, you will have a wonderful, interactive experience, learning all about Rwandan traditions, culture, song and dance. You will also have the opportunity to sample local food and banana beer and visit a local household or school. As well, you can choose to visit some of the local community projects and co-operatives to see, first hand, how your travel with us contributes to making a difference in people’s lives.

On the drive back to your hotel, depending on available time you may visit Ruhengeri Market, providing you with an opportunity to see and buy local Rwandan fabrics, foods, handicrafts etc, visit the twin lakes, Lake Burera and Lake Ruhondo and marvel at the views of the Virunga Mountain chain.

Day 3: Second Day of Gorilla Trekking

Have an early morning breakfast and transfer to Park offices, again for pre-trek briefing for all guests and choosing the gorilla group you want to track. After gorilla tracking, you will drive to Gisenyi town located on the shores of Lake Kivu. Lake Kivu is one of the great lakes in Africa and the largest of the fresh water lakes that gleam in the Albertine (Western) rift of the Great Rift Valley. Lake Kivu stands at 1461m (4,790ft) above sea level and is Africa’s highest lake. The northern shore is subject to eruptions from nearby Mt Nyiragongo. With its waterfront and sandy beaches, Gisenyi is a wonderful place to relax, with the captivating feel of a tropical beach resort. The afternoon will be spent relaxing after two days of mountain gorilla trekking.

Day 4: Urwibutso Ecotourism Project  – Transfer to Kigali

Halfway back to Kigali, you will make a stopover in Nyirangarama for lunch and then tour the Urwibutso Ecotourism Project. The Urwibutso Enterprise supports local farmers and contributes to social and economic development in the area, providing schools and education, creating jobs and opportunities, particularly for women, and training for farmers.
