Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Safaris
Mountain gorilla trekking safaris are done from Volcanoes national park in Rwanda. The park has a total 12 habituated gorilla groups ready for tourism and tracking activities.
Gorilla tracking in Rwanda starts with a briefing from the ranger guides at the park headquarters about the dos and don’ts during mountain gorilla safaris; after you will be allocated to different families to track and later head to Volcanoes national park under the guidance of a professional ranger for the life time experience.
Some families live near the briefing area and other groups require some kind of driving before the start of the trail; therefore, tracking time takes between 2 to 8hours depending on the movement of the family. Regardless of the gorilla family allocated to you, you be able to see the gorillas; often found while enjoying their breakfast and the infants playing with their family members.
