High in the misty volcanic mountains of Rwanda lies one of the most profound wildlife encounters on earth. Trek through the lush bamboo forests of Volcanoes National Park as expert trackers guide you along hidden trails in search of the endangered Mountain Gorilla. When you finally come upon a gorilla family—youngsters tumbling through the undergrowth while the great silverback watches calmly over his troop—the world seems to fall silent. Standing just a few feet away from these gentle giants in their natural mountain home is a deeply moving, once-in-a-lifetime experience that few travelers ever have the privilege to share.
Overview
Join us on this extraordinary adventure as you experience the wonder of a gorilla safari in Rwanda.

Accompanied by expert trackers and park rangers, you’ll set out on a remarkable trek through lush bamboo forests and volcanic terrain to observe these magnificent animals in their natural habitat—an encounter that is both thrilling and deeply moving. Beyond the gorillas, the park is rich in biodiversity, home to golden monkeys, colorful birdlife, and a variety of forest mammals that thrive in this pristine mountain ecosystem.
