Track Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda, Uganda or Congo in 2 days
In the space of just two days there is a great tour option available
to you if you are interested in African wildlife. A great way to end a longer tour of Africa, or a great way to extend you
trip, this two day visit will undoubtedly leave you wanting more!
Tracking gorillas in their natural habitat requires a permit and this is included in the price of this two day tour. The price
is also inclusive of the driver, tour guide, and transport for your car whilst on safari. In addition to this, the price also
covers your accommodation for the night at a quaint hotel or guest house.
Upon arrival at the airport, you will be met by your guide who will take you to the Volcanoes
National Park ‘Parc National Des Volcans’ which is located in the north-western region of Rwanda and known for
its volcanic terrain and its famous mountain gorillas. For clients travelling with low budget they can reach the national
park with public bus.
Highlights of the second day will include a morning dedicated to the region’s legendary primates. After breakfast, you
will trek through the forests towards the border of the Virunga mountain range in the Volcanoes National Park to seek out
one of the only remaining mountain gorilla families in the world (mountain gorillas are the most endangered species of all
gorillas).
The park was the first
of its kind in Africa and was created to protect the gorillas back in the 1920s.
In the afternoon you will travel to Kigali to visit the Kigali Genocide memorial centre for an educational yet poignant experience.
The rest of the afternoon can be spent at your leisure – shopping and relaxing before your transfer back to the airport
ready for your departure. A short and sweet trip, you’ll be surprised at how much you can fit into just two action packed
days!
