Rwanda Gorilla Safaris –Best Rwanda Gorilla Holidays & Packages

With almost 35% of the World’s mountain gorilla population, it is challenging to summarize the highlights, but we shall try to paint a picture of Rwanda Gorilla safaris. It is not every day that you see a mountain gorilla, and there is no option of seeing one at the Zoo back home. But in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda’s premier gorilla trekking destination, this is more than feasible, with over 13 habituated gorilla families.

Gorilla trekking is the process of searching for mountain gorillas on foot and observing them in their natural habitat. Gorilla treks include adventures lasting from two to six hours (including the one hour you will spend watching and taking photos of them as they go about their daily activities). While gorilla trekking is most commonly used as a form of tourism, it also serves as an educational and scientific way to study the Giant Apes without interfering with their natural habitat or lives.
