Volcanoes National Park Headquarters - it is a lifetime encounter that you wouldn’t want to miss out on the moment you get an opportunity to visit Rwanda. Wake up early in the morning at 4:30 am and drive off to the park. It’s a 112 km long drive to get to the Volcanoes National Park in Ruhengeri, Musanze province which is a habitat to the endangered Mountain gorillas. You can take visually attractive pictures from the different stopovers along the journey and also get to have a cup of coffee. At exactly 8.30 am, we move to the park’s headquarters in Kinigi Village where you are briefed by the ranger about the rules and regulations governing Gorilla tracking. You are distributed into different groups and then sent off into the forest. The trek takes an hour to about
8 more depending on where the gorillas had been the previous day. The hike is quite strenuous but all the more rewarding once you set your eyes on the gentle mountain gorillas. They always move in a big number with the Silverback at the lead. You will watch them carry about their day to day routine like the juveniles playing, mothers feeding their young ones and the Silverbacks taking watch out for their families avoiding any predator.

Gorilla Trekking - The experience was worth every penny and more. My guide Muhammad was exceptional. The ride to the gorillas, he answered my many questions about Rwanda with a friendly and enthusiastic nature.
The gorillas experience was fantastic. The mountain guides were professional yet friendly and we got very close to the many gorillas, including being charged by the silver back at the end. But as we were told prior to the trekk, the charge was a bluff, but still very exciting. The experience was so good, I will be back and hope to have Muhammad again.

Outstanding, I recommended it to whoever animals lovers - I love the experience, and what a privilege to witness such of animals in there own turf. A overcast day is what photographers needs for pictures perfect and thats what we had. The staff (driver) Mico was outstanding, considering the task need, and very helpful with his knowledge, clean and comfortable vehicle, serving me with water and meal . Excellent choice of restaurant for the way home. Thank you to you all, great job. Jacques of Canada

An incredible experience - I had the chance to spend a morning up close and personal with gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, and what an experience! Passionate and exciting guides, a few meters from the gorillas... All masterfully organized by Alain, with a special mention for the adaptation because everything is last minute!
