Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park is one of the most special wildlife encounters in the world.
Hike through the mist-covered bamboo rainforest and gaze deeply into the soulful brown eyes of endangered mountain gorillas—the largest-living primate on the planet.
In addition to an unforgettable journey of gorilla trekking, spend a morning observing Rwanda's golden monkeys. Venture into Nyungwe Forest National Park for a chimpanzee trekking experience. Participate in a cooking class at an inspiring organization based in Kigali, embark on a guided city walk, learn about the traditional process of yarn-making, explore Lake Kivu by kayak and boat, and more.
Gorilla tourism brings significant income annually to communities in Rwanda. Through responsibly planned visits, local people find a strong incentive to protect these animals and their habitats. It’s a win-win situation for both people and wildlife.

This was an amazing tour. They do small groups and like to support the local economy, so we were able to go on adventures and experience the people, and local environment in a way that would have been impossible with a large group. They were very attentive and responsible to the needs and requests of our group. They had everything well planned out ahead of time and the places we went to appreciated Gondwana.
