This 4-Day Rwanda Gorilla Tour gives you a rare opportunity to enjoy two gorilla trekking experiences in Rwanda. Gorilla encounters in Volcanoes National Park are unforgettable, and this Rwanda tour allows you to meet two different mountain gorilla families in separate parts of the park.
You will spend two full hours with the gorillas on different days, giving you more time to observe, learn, and take photos. Other activities include visiting the Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village, exploring the Twin Lakes of Burera and Ruhondo, and enjoying a short Kigali City tour.
Each Rwanda gorilla permit costs $1500, so two treks total $3000 per person. The permit price excludes transport, accommodation, and other costs.
