All-inclusive Double Gorilla Trekking Rwanda 4 Days

Safari Overview: 4 Days Double Gorilla Trekking Rwanda Safari

The finest itinerary for those who wish to experience double gorilla trekking in Rwanda is 4 Days Double Gorilla Trekking Rwanda. Trekking gorillas twice over two separate days is known as double gorilla trekking. Two permits, each costing $1500 USD, must be purchased for a four-day gorilla hike in Rwanda. Because you trek a different gorilla family every day, double gorilla trekking gives a trekker the chance to compare the personalities in the various families.

About 400 mountain gorillas live in the bamboo forest of Volcanoes National Park, making hiking them easier than it would be in other settings. The only mountain gorilla park in the nation, Volcanoes National Park, also known as Parc Nationale des Volcans (PNV), offers visitors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend up to an hour with these gentle giants. By the quickest method, the 4-day Double Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Safari Adventure to Volcanoes National Park Rwanda is roughly a 2-hour, 20-minute journey from Kigali.

This itinerary is appropriate for travelers using Kigali International Airport for both arrival and departure. Kigali International Airport serves as the starting and finishing point for the four-day Rwanda Gorilla Trek, with pickup upon arrival and drop-off upon departure. Arrival and departure days are the first and last days of the tour, and you hike gorillas on the second and third days. For those who like to spend more time with some of the world’s surviving mountain gorillas, double gorilla trekking is the ideal plan.

Safari Highlights:

– Double gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park

Day 2: First Gorilla trekking in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park and transfer back to Kigali.

After breakfast, you are driven to the park headquarters by your driver-guide, who will take you up at the lodge. The park warden gives you a tutorial on the dos and don’ts of gorilla trekking in Rwanda when you first arrive at the park headquarters in Kinigi. The park ranger guide will drop you off at the trekking starting site for the gorilla hike around 8:30 am. One gorilla family and eight tourists with Rwandan hiking permits, which cost USD 1500 each, are allotted.

With armed ranger guides, each of the eight people treks through the bamboo forest for two to six hours. But you only get to spend an hour (60 minutes) with the mountain gorillas. Although the duration of the walk varies based on the movements of the gorilla groups, the Rwandan population is known to travel shorter distances, making the trek easier. You stroll back to the park headquarters after spending an hour with a gorilla family, where you meet the tour guide to be taken back to your accommodation.
