2 Days Rwanda Gorilla Tour Vacation
Overview
Embark on a 2-day Rwanda Gorilla tour vacation starting and ending in Kigali, Rwanda, guiding you to Volcanoes National Park, the habitat of endangered mountain gorillas. The next day, engage in your Rwanda gorilla trek before being transferred back to Kigali, concluding your thrilling Rwanda safari holiday.
The Rwanda Gorilla Safari Vacation stands as the most sought-after Africa safari trip for tourists visiting this East African country. Rwanda has diligently constructed good roads and excellent safari lodges, ensuring an incredible Africa Safari experience. Volcanoes National Park, home to the mountain gorillas, is merely a two-hour drive on tarmac road from Kigali city and the international airport.
Currently, there are seven main habituated Rwanda gorilla trekking groups: Susa, Sabinyo, Amahoro, Umubano, Hirwa, Kwitonda, and Group Thirteen, initiated by Dian Fossey years ago.
These gorilla groups vary in size, ranging from around 9 to 39 individuals, each boasting at least one silverback male. Several groups tend to inhabit the saddle between Mount Sabyinyo and Mount Gahinga, approximately a two-hour walk from the park entrance.
While planning your gorilla trekking Rwanda safari, booking a permit for a specific group is not feasible. However, your chances of a shorter walk are higher compared to gorilla trekking in Uganda. Nonetheless, nothing is guaranteed, and you might track a group such as Susa, initially studied by Dian Fossey, often found on the slopes of Mount Bisoke, a five-hour hike away.
