Arrival

• You’ll be picked up from the airport (or hotel). • Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost

Day 1: Pick Up From Kigali To Volcanoes National Park

After only 2 hours driving you will reach the lodge. The lodge has been built using environmentally friendly local materials such as Bamboos made fitted by a local community workmanship. We value the environment so much that we have been careful in the design and construction of Le Bambou Gorilla Lodge to ensure that the environment is not harmed. After check in we will be visiting ibyiwacu cultural Village (traditional life experience).

Day 2: Gorilla Trekking

You will trek one of the habituated Gorilla groups who can tolerate the presence of humans for a brief period every day. The time taken to track the gorillas can take as little as half an hour to as much as 8 hours! Your track will be an exciting journey along forested slopes, entwined vines, bushes and bamboo before you eventually reach the gorillas’ current location. Your guide will point out signs of previous gorilla activity, including dung, nests and chewed bamboo shoots. Once the gorillas have been located, you will be allowed a maximum of one hour with them. Coming face-to-face with a mountain gorilla is a humbling and emotional experience. This is a fantastic and privileged opportunity to get up close and personal with Rwanda’s own ‘Gorillas in the Mist’.

Day 3: Drive Back To Kigali

After breakfast you drive back to Kigali. It is possible to visit the genocide memorial in Kigali before you leave. This depends on your departure time.
