    Highlights
    • Located on the border of the Volcanoes National Park, guests can experience some of the best Gorilla Trekking adventures within Rwanda

    Overview

    Enjoy an incredible 3-night Rwanda Adventure with our tailored package which allows you to explore this great land and experience unforgettable Gorilla Trekking. Africa's easiest and most accessible gorilla trekking is the main draw card of a Rwandan safari. After arriving at the capital city Kigali you are only a few hours' drive away from the legendary Volcanoes National Park and its habituated but still wild gorilla families.

    It was on the bamboo-covered slopes of Rwanda’s Virunga Volcanoes that the late Dian Fossey studied the behaviour of the endangered mountain gorilla for 20 years, followed by the filmmakers who shot Gorillas in the Mist. Now small groups of privileged visitors can experience one of the most memorable wildlife encounters on earth gorilla trekking through the pristine Virunga’s rainforest.

    Day 1

    • Arrive in Kigali International Airport, Rwanda
    • On arrival at the airport, you will be met by your guide and transferred to the Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel (3-hour drive)

    Day 2

    • Today is the day! You will be going Gorilla Trekking in the Volcanoes National Park.

    • After the briefing, you return to your respective vehicles for the drive up the mountain to the starting point. Porters may be hired for the trek to carry your backpack and gear - Cost, USD 10 per person/per day. We advise that you utilise this service. Trekking can take from two to six or more hours if the gorillas move before the park rangers locate them the next morning.  The guides stop frequently to allow trekkers a chance to rest and take photos along the way,  After the trek, you will rejoin your driver / guide for the transfer to your lodge in time for lunch.

    Important Notes

    Please note:

    • No activities at Volcanoes National Park can be booked on the day of departure from the Lodge. This includes gorilla trekking, golden monkey treks, hikes to the volcanoes and the hike to Dian Fossey’s gravesite. These activities usually don’t allow enough time for guests to return to the lodge to freshen up before their departure. As Five Volcanoes Hotel doesn’t offer day-use facilities, guests wishing to participate in Park activities on their last day would need to book an additional night.
    • The minimum age requirement for gorilla trekking is 15 years old

    Please request our comprehensive guide to the Gorillas, Trekking and Rwanda in general.

      Words almost escape me — Monwana Game Reserve exceeded every expectation we had. From the beautiful lodge and rooms, to the dining experience where you are free to select your own wine from the cellar to pair with your favourite dish, to the incredibly warm and friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel completely at home, every aspect of our stay was exceptional. And last, but certainly not least, our guides EJ and Nick were outstanding. They went above and beyond to make sure our game-drive experience was second to none. I can honestly say, on behalf of our family of four, that this experience has topped our Botswana trip — and that is saying a lot! Lastly, Sydney, thank you for your incredible assistance, communication and professionalism throughout. Your attention to detail made an already special trip even better. We will most certainly be booking through you again and will have no hesitation in recommending Your Perfect Africa to our friends and family.

      My wife and I decided on Friday to go to a private game lodge on Sunday. Nadia was still able to find something that fit our budget and location needs perfectly by Friday afternoon and confirm the booking to us by 5 pm the same day. I enquired with Bush Breaks as well but Nadia was able to get me a better lodge at an excellent price. Will definitely book with them again for future trips.

      Sydney was professional, efficient, and passionate from the moment she picked up my query. She made sure that all our logistics were dealt with and checked in with us many times before our departure. I highly recommend making use of Your Perfect Africa for any bush experiences, they are in their own league!

      A big thanks to Your Perfect Africa for making our experience on safari as seamless and perfect as possible. From the moment I made contact with them with my brief, they were professional, efficient and made on the mark recommendations for me to choose from. Once my choice was made, I could sit back and just wait for what was an incredible experience. Thank you YPA and Robyn in particular!
