3-Day Rwanda Gorilla Trek

A three-day Rwanda gorilla trek is the definitive Volcanoes National Park safari: a full hour with a habituated gorilla family, plus breathing room in the Virunga foothills. Based on the $1,500 Rwanda gorilla permit with private transport, expert guiding and lodge nights included, it suits first-time trekkers and seasoned travelers alike — short enough to fit a long weekend, long enough to feel like an expedition.
