About This Tour
Volcanoes National Park in northwestern Rwanda is home to some of the world's last remaining mountain gorillas. This is arguably the most profound wildlife encounter you can have anywhere on Earth. You will trek through lush bamboo forests and volcanic slopes with expert trackers to find a gorilla family and spend one magical hour in their presence.
The experience is life-changing. Watching these gentle giants go about their daily lives β grooming, playing, eating β just meters away is something that will stay with you forever. Rwanda is the best place in the world for gorilla trekking thanks to the well-organized permit system and excellent park management.
