Rwanda Gorilla Safaris With AA Safaris & Tours
Gorilla Safari Rwanda
A Rwanda gorilla safari begins with choosing your trekking date, checking permit availability and booking the right lodge around Volcanoes National Park. The Rwanda gorilla permit costs US$1,500 per person for foreign visitors and allows one guided trek with one hour spent with a habituated gorilla family.
Most safaris start in Kigali, followed by a road transfer of about 2 hours 30 minutes to Musanze or Kinigi. Travellers can stay at luxury lodges such as Bisate Lodge, One&Only Gorilla’s Nest, Singita Kwitonda Lodge and Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge. Mid-range and practical options include Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel, Mountain Gorilla View Lodge, Tiloreza Volcanoes Ecolodge and Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge.
On trekking day, visitors report to the Volcanoes National Park registration centre at Kinigi at 07:00 for permit checks and briefing. Rangers explain the trekking rules before assigning visitors to gorilla families. Each gorilla group is visited by a maximum of 8 people per day.
The trek can take about 2 to 6 hours depending on where the gorillas moved, weather, terrain and walking pace. Once the gorillas are found, visitors spend one hour observing them in the forest. AA Safaris & Tours helps arrange permits, lodges, private transfers, driver guides and route planning. The safari can also include golden monkey tracking, Lake Kivu, Akagera National Park or Nyungwe Forest..
Plan a safari built around gorilla trekking, wildlife parks, culture, lodges and guided transfers.
