Discounted gorilla trekking

In the wake of the Covid -19 pandemic that the world faced, Tourism was among the most affected sectors with limited and sometimes closer travel.  To remedy this, the Rwanda Development Board provided an opportunity to some travelers with discounted gorilla permits to be able to see these endangered species said to be sharing 98% of their DNA with Human beings and are only found in the Great Lakes region in the massive Volcanoes National Park. The discount was meant for nationals of Rwanda, residents of Rwanda, East Africans citizens and residents as well as Africans and African residents.

This is therefore another opportunity for other tourists to enjoy the discounted gorilla permits and be able to have this once in a lifetime experience of meeting these human-like creatures in their natural bedding in the Volcanoes National Park.
