Volcanoes rising above terraced hills in Rwanda

Gorillas

Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Guide

Rwanda offers the most accessible gorilla trekking in East Africa: Volcanoes National Park is a comfortable drive from Kigali, making short trips genuinely practical.

Access and logistics

Fly into Kigali, drive north to Musanze and trek the following morning. A three-day trip is enough for a full trekking experience.

Permits

Permits are limited and issued by the national authority. Official permit costs can change, so we confirm current pricing at the time of quoting.

The trek itself

Treks begin at Kinigi with a briefing, then climb through farmland and bamboo forest on the volcano slopes.

Beyond gorillas

Golden monkey tracking, the Dian Fossey hike and volcano climbs make excellent additions.
