Overview

A 3 days gorilla tracking Rwanda safari will take you to Volcanoes National Park, the only place for gorilla trekking in the country. It is located in the Virunga Conservation Area, in the Northwest. Bordered by Uganda in the North and Congo in the East. With just a 2 hours drive from Kigali, the national park is easily accessible. With no tiresome long-distance journeys.

A 3 days gorilla tracking Rwanda safari brings you closer to the gentle giants. Become part of their daily routine for at least 2 hours, see how they feed, live and nurture their young ones. That isn’t all, about 5 summits of East Africa’s dormant volcanoes sit firm inside this park. Mt. Karisimbi, Sabinyo, Gahinga, Muhavura and Bisoke. So, if you are a mountaineer, you could combine or plan for the mountain hiking experience separately for another time

During the trip, you will also pot the rare golden monkeys. The golden glitter on their fur is impressive to look at. You watch them play from up in the trees, an incredible feeling. At PTS, we make your journey seamless at the lowest cost possible. Dive into the details of our trip with me!
