The One-Day Gorilla trekking Rwanda offers a lifetime unique opportunity to see the majestic mountain gorillas in their natural habitat within Volcanoes NP and the village of ex-poachers. As a day trip is designed to suit the needs of visitors with a tight schedule in Kigali.

Getting up close & personal to a mountain gorilla is a pretty humbling experience, some even say life changing. You get so close you can actually smell them – a pungent, sickly-sweet odour of sweaty gorilla. It is of course not far from how we’d smell, if we had been roaming the forest all our lives sans shower gel. We have 98 percent of the same DNA as the mountain gorilla.

Being a day trip expect to leave Kigali early enough to Volcanoes National Park. For an estimated 2 - 2.5 hours drive with local experts & friendly driver guide, the transport is assured with a choice 4x4 safari vehicle with wifi connectivity to keep you connected with your lovely ones & enjoying a scenic drive of picturesque countryside.

    Ben, the guide, was amazing! He had such a cool vibe, and the music in the car set the perfect mood. We even stopped along the way to take photos of the Volcanoes—so thoughtful! He made sure the trek to see the gorillas was easy and when we finally found them, it was truly a timeless, dreamlike moment. Afterward, we visited Iby’Iwacu village, where we received the warmest welcome and experienced a glimpse of traditional life—it was such a unique and enjoyable experience. To top it all off, we had lunch at a local restaurant, and the day ended with a joyful ride back to Kigali. I highly recommend this experience!
