Our meticulously crafted Gorilla trekking itinerary from Kigali promises an immersive experience. Commencing with a pickup from your accommodation in Kigali, the journey unfolds with visits to the genocide memorial site and Kimironko market. A delightful lunch in Kabale town precedes your transfer to the lodge near Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, offering scenic views.
On the second day, you embark on the ultimate adventure, transferring to the park offices for a detailed briefing on safety precautions during the trek. In groups of eight, you delve into the forest for an awe-inspiring gorilla trekking experience.
