3 Days Private Luxury Gorilla Trekking Adventure In Rwanda
Package Overview
Gorilla trekking is Rwanda’s signature safari and holiday experience. The country offers remarkable luxury and private gorilla trekking adventures to those seeking to meet these prestigious Great Apes. Rwanda’s ultimate location to track these primates is the Volcanoes National Park, located northwest of the country on the boarder with Uganda and DR. Congo. The park is part of the greater Virunga Massif and it’s made up of eight volcanos. These volcanos cross into the subsequent neighboring countries (highlighted above).
On this 3 day private luxury Gorilla trekking safari in Rwanda, you will track these endangered Great Apes on a private basis. This therefore means you track as an individual, or family, couple or private group. So on this safari you’re not joined by any other people outside your travel party. This private gorilla tracking safari is arranged for people who enjoy exclusivity like VIPs…
