Best Rwanda Gorilla Treks
Rwanda, the Land of a Thousand Hills, is home to some of the last remaining mountain gorillas on Earth. Deep in the misty forests of Volcanoes National Park, you may witness a powerful silverback leading his troop through the undergrowth or catch a glimpse of the quiet humanity in a shared gaze or gentle embrace. Around 600 mountain gorillas inhabit the Virunga Mountains, where Rwanda, Uganda, and the DRC converge—making this a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. In addition to gorilla trekking, you’ll have the chance to track rare golden monkeys, another endangered species native to the region, and enjoy Big Five game viewing in Akagera National Park, a remarkable conservation success story. For those who can’t get enough of primates, consider adding time in Nyungwe National Park to trek for chimpanzees and black-and-white colobus monkeys, rounding out an unforgettable journey through Rwanda’s rich biodiversity.
