Mountain Gorilla Trekking

The gorilla trekking day begins with a drive to Volcanoes National Park headquarters for briefing. Pick-up is at 6:00 am and trekking begins at 8:00 am. One of many highlights is watching the calm gorillas conduct themselves graciously — feeding, resting, caring for their young. When trekking is concluded the driver takes you to the lodge to freshen up before departing to Rubavu in the afternoon.
