Walking with Mountain Gorillas
An 8-day Conservation Safari Through Rwanda
Starting from $12,600 per person
A Gorilla Trekking and Safari Experience
After a revitalizing stop at Rwanda’s capital Kigali, your safari begins at the miraculous Akagera National Park. Enjoy calming natural luxury on the banks of Lake Rwanyakazinga during your stay at Magashi Lodge, where you can explore over 6000 exclusive hectares in search of the Big Five. For the adventurous, there is an opportunity to join the African Parks conservation and ranger teams, and to learn how they conserve and protect this incredible wilderness.
Your life-changing gorilla encounter is inside the iconic Volcanoes National Park, a haven for the last remaining wild mountain gorillas. Here you will walk in their footsteps and spend an hour immersing yourself in their daily lives. At the luxurious Bisate Lodge, you can witness another endemic primate, and trek to see the lesser known golden monkey. Before you leave, visit the nursery and plant your own tree around the lodge for the next generation.
*This Conservation Safari includes a $500 donation (per trip) to help expand the Volcanoes National Park. An initiative led by local communities, Rwandan Government and African Wildlife Foundation
