Gorilla Trekking from Bisate (Rwanda)

Upon arrival at Kigali International Airport, you will be met by our local representative then proceed to the VIP lounge for the Immigration assistance while you enjoy a cup of coffee. Afterwards transfer to your lovely hotel for check-in. Dinner on own account.

In the morning, take city tour of Kigali, where you can visit the genocide memorial, craft markets, and the Kandt Museum, and then eat lunch at a local restaurant before the drive to the Volcanoes National Park.

In the morning, you have the opportunity to trek mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park (reservation required in advance). Once your skilled trackers locate the gorilla family, you have a magic hour to stay with them and watch as they go about their daily life, feeding, playing, resting and raising their young. You will head back to Bisate Lodge for lunch, and then visit the ex-poachers in the afternoon. An award-winning conservation initiative, former poachers were convinced to renounce their wayward ways and become conservation activists. Together with their families, they founded a community village with a replica of the Kings palace, where they now participate in eco-tourism showcasing Rwandan culture and customs.

Today will be your second day of gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, followed by lunch at Bisate Lodge. In the afternoon, you have a tour of the volcanic caves that were formed over centuries, including a 1.25-mile-long cave.

There is a morning activity at your lodge and breakfast before your transfer back to Kigali for your onward arrangements.
