Into the mist
Volcanoes National Park is Rwanda’s legendary mountain-gorilla sanctuary. This private three-day journey brings you from Kigali to the Virunga foothills for one of the world’s most moving wildlife encounters.

Mountain gorilla trekking → Kigali
After an early breakfast, join the park briefing and enter the bamboo forest with expert trackers. Spend a remarkable hour with your assigned gorilla family, then return to your guide for lunch and the beautiful drive back to Kigali.
