1 jour : trekking des gorilles au Rwanda

À propos de ce circuit

Rwanda's compact geography means Volcanoes National Park is barely two hours from Kigali — making a same-day gorilla trek not only possible but remarkably smooth. A 04:30 AM pick-up gets you to park headquarters in time for the 07:00 AM briefing. Trackers who set out at first light radio your guide with the gorilla family's location, and within one to three hours of hiking through bamboo and nettle zones on the volcano flanks, you are sitting among them. Your hour with the group — watching juveniles somersault off a silverback's back, mothers nursing, and sentries surveying the mist — is worth every early alarm. After the descent, a cultural village visit introduces traditional Intore dance and banana-beer brewing. You're back in Kigali by early evening, with time for a celebratory dinner or an onward flight. Ideal for business travellers, layover visitors, or anyone adding a gorilla day onto a broader East Africa trip.
