Detailed Itinerary: 2-Day Rwanda Gorilla Trekking From Foothills to the Bamboo Jungle
Walk in the Footsteps of Giants on a Private Luxury Gorilla Adventure
Step into the wild heart of Rwanda on this 2-Day Private Gorilla Trekking Safari, taking you from the peaceful volcanic foothills of Musanze to the mist-draped bamboo jungles of Volcanoes National Park. Designed for luxury-seeking adventurers with limited time, this short yet soul-stirring journey offers an intimate encounter with the endangered mountain gorillas of Rwanda, all in just two unforgettable days.
Day 1: Kigali – Volcanoes National Park
Your experience begins with a scenic 2.5-hour private transfer from Kigali, Rwanda’s vibrant capital, through lush green hills and rural countryside to Musanze. Along the way, stop at the Kigali Genocide Memorial or enjoy a local coffee tasting session before checking into one of Rwanda’s finest lodges like Bisate Lodge, Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge, or Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel.
Settle into your luxury forest villa with panoramic volcano views, and unwind with a spa treatment or guided nature walk. In the evening, your expert guide will brief you on the next day’s trek while you dine under the stars, surrounded by the quiet majesty of Rwanda’s northern highlands.
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park – Return to Kigali
Rise early for a hearty breakfast before heading to Kinigi Park Headquarters for a detailed orientation. After permit verification, you’ll be assigned a gorilla family group based on your fitness level and preferences. Guided by experienced rangers and trackers, you’ll embark on a breathtaking hike through dense bamboo forest, misty hills, and moss-covered trees in search of a gorilla family.
The trek can range from 1 to 5 hours, depending on the group’s location, but every step is rewarded with one magical hour in the presence of these gentle giants. Watch silverbacks beat their chests, mothers cradle their young, and juveniles play among the foliage, a deeply moving experience that leaves a lasting impression.
After your trek, receive a gorilla tracking certificate, enjoy lunch at your lodge, and begin your relaxed return journey to Kigali, arriving by late afternoon or early evening.
