1 Day Gorilla Trekking Safari in Rwanda Volcanoes National Park

A life time adventure!

My experience trekking the Volcanoes National Park to see the gorillas was a memorable adventure. However, in my opinion, the fees to get the permit was overrated. Was it worth it? I guess for that a one-time adventure, yes! But certainly not worth doing it twice for the cost it entails.

Volcanoes National Park Day Pass

An absolute must do

This was an incredible experience. The kind that you will remember forever and one that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Being so close to these gentle giants in their natural habitat is really breathtaking. I can't thank the guides, porters and trackers enough for delivering a wonderful experience.

A day trip _ Mount Bisoke Hike Adventure

Great hiking expedience

Hiking on Mount Bisoke was one of my main purposes for coming to Rwanda - besides tasting the coffee. The mist-shrouded mountains motivated me to reach the summit. The entire itinerary was very tightly scheduled, taking about 12 hours from start to finish. The driver, who also runs the tour agency, picked me up from my hotel in Kigali, and the one-way drive to the base took about 2.5 hours. He was very talkative and had clear, well-thought-out plans for growing his business. The climb itself was somewhat challenging and monotonous, but the sight of the shimmering crater lake at the top made it all worthwhile. I do wish there were something like a summit certificate to make the experience feel more participatory. I heard that this agency also runs trips to Mount Nyiragongo - I'm hoping that once the security situation stabilizes, that trip can become a reality.
