At Intrepid Tours and Transport, we believe in crafting experiences that touch the heart and awaken the spirit of adventure. Our 3 Days Rwanda Gorilla Safaris a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to connect with nature, track the magnificent mountain gorillas, and explore the beauty and resilience of Rwanda.
Day 0: Warm Welcome in Kigali
The safari begins the moment you land. Our friendly guide will greet you at Kigali International Airport and transfer you to your hotel for dinner and a restful night. We cater for all preferences – from luxury stays to midrange comfort or budget-friendly options.
Day 1: Kigali City Tour & Transfer to Volcanoes National Park
After a hearty breakfast, enjoy a short but insightful tour of Kigali – visiting the colorful Kimironko Market and the powerful Kigali Genocide Memorial. After lunch, we head north to the scenic town of Ruhengeri, your gateway to Volcanoes National Park. Settle in at your lodge for dinner and prepare for the thrilling adventure ahead.
Day 2: Gorilla Trekking Experience
This is the highlight of your safari. After an early breakfast, you’ll head to the park headquarters for a safety briefing. You’ll then begin your trek through the lush Virunga mountains, led by experienced rangers. Depending on the gorilla group assigned to you, the hike could take between 2 to 5 hours. But every step is worth it the moment you lock eyes with a mountain gorilla in its natural habitat. You’ll have up to one hour with them – a quiet, humbling, and unforgettable moment. After the trek, head back to the lodge to relax and enjoy a well-earned dinner.
Day 3: Golden Monkey Tracking & Return to Kigali
On your final day, you’ll track the rare and playful golden monkeys in the forest. This short trek lasts around 2-3 hours and offers a perfect ending to your wildlife experience. Afterwards, you’ll have lunch at the lodge and then drive back to Kigali. We’ll drop you at your hotel or directly at the airport in time for your flight.
