Gorilla Trekking Packages in Rwanda
These are the itineraries most people mean when they search for a gorilla trekking package in Rwanda — a complete, privately guided trip built around a Volcanoes National Park gorilla trek, not a single activity booked on its own.
Every package here includes the $1,500 gorilla trekking permit and pairs the trek with at least one more park — typically Akagera's Big Five game drives or Nyungwe's chimpanzee tracking and canopy walkway — and usually closes with a night or two on Lake Kivu. Trip length ranges from a fast 2-day taster to an 11-day grand circuit at top-tier lodges.
Every trip is fully private: your own vehicle, your own driver-guide, and an itinerary that can be shortened, extended, or upgraded in lodge category.
