What to expect on double gorilla trekking?
Double gorilla trekking allows visitors to embark on two separate treks on different days, each with a permit to visit a distinct habituated gorilla group. By doing this, you’ll experience greater variety in terrain, gorilla group size, and behavior ideal for photographers, researchers, or anyone seeking a more complete gorilla tracking experience. Each trek includes a guided forest hike and a magical hour spent in close proximity to these majestic primates.
Why Choose Rwanda for Gorilla Trekking?
Rwanda is renowned for its well-managed gorilla tourism program and conservation success stories. Volcanoes National Park is home to over 12 habituated gorilla families and offers safe, guided treks led by expert trackers. Thanks to the park’s excellent infrastructure and its proximity to Kigali (just a 2.5-hour drive), Rwanda offers one of the most accessible and efficient gorilla trekking experiences in East Africa. With a strong focus on responsible tourism, Rwanda ensures that your visit supports both gorilla conservation and local communities.
Best Time for Double Gorilla Trekking
The best time to visit Rwanda for gorilla trekking is during the dry seasons, from June to September and December to February. Trails are more accessible and gorilla viewing tends to be easier during these periods. However, Rwanda’s forests remain lush year-round, and treks operate daily regardless of weather, offering incredible experiences in any season.
