Gorilla Trekking Please Note
To help reduce stress to the Gorillas and also reduce the impact of visitors on their natural behaviour, this wonderful experience usually only takes place once or twice over three or four days maximum stay. Permits are limited to only one or two visits per person depending on the demand when small groups are taken to see them in their beautiful forest habitat.
At other times during your short stay in the park, you will be able to take guided nature walks in the lower altitudes to round off your experience in this mystical Forest location.
This trip is usually taken as an extension to a safari in Tanzania or Kenya.
About Rwanda
Rwanda Gorilla Trekking.
An extension to a Kenya or Tanzania itinerary
An adventurous safari to East Africa, the Primate Safari offers the chance to experience the magnificent gorillas and primates of Rwanda. With approximately 300 mountain gorillas, Rwanda offers one of the best chances of seeing these gentle giants anywhere in the world. This is the definitive location in Africa to track the rare Mountain Gorilla and Golden Monkeys. The Parc National des Volcans (PNV) National Park in northern Rwanda, which runs along the border between DR Congo and Uganda, is one of the most stunning sights in the region and is home to a chain of seven volcanoes.
Rwanda is a land of great diversity and beauty. Popularly known as 'the land of a thousand hills', Rwanda has six volcanoes, twenty-three lakes and numerous rivers, some forming the source of the great River Nile.
The landscapes in this green country are truly breathtaking. Many a visitor to Rwanda has remarked that the physical beauty of the country is without equal on the African continent. Spectacular volcanoes and dense tropical forests dominate the north of the country, while gentle hills and valleys calm lakes and turbulent rivers in both savannah and dense tropical vegetation dominate the rest of the country.
Rwanda boasts a wide variety of wildlife. The Parc National des Volcans, in northern Rwanda is home to the world's largest number of endangered mountain gorillas. Numbering in the hundreds, the gorillas live in a protected area, free from poachers. The gorillas can be viewed in their natural mountain habitats at a fairly close range.
Best known for its wealth of primates, Rwanda also has one of Africa's richest varieties of bird life. A staggering 670 different bird species have been recorded in Rwanda. For botanists, the gorgeous wildflowers of the forests and mountains are capped by more than 100 Orchid species in Nyungwe alone..
Rwanda, in a nutshell, is a nature lover's paradise. It is also one of the friendliest of countries. Comfortable facilities, fine food and a rich cultural heritage complement a warm welcome
