Safari 2 Days, 1 Night – Rwanda Mountain Gorilla Trekking & Rwanda Memorial

About this experience

This tour 2 Day tour lets you get up close and watch young gorillas rough and tumble like wrestlers, maternal females gather in grooming groups,
occasionally reprimanding the little ones, while the patriarchal silverback keeps a protective eye on the surroundings.

Spending time with gorillas in the wild is by far the most transformative and up-close wildlife experience in Africa. A face-to-face encounter with these great apes in the parks will gift you with soul-stirring memories that will never fade. So rare are gorillas, that trackers are able to give them individual names and identify their faces and personalities easily.

This tour also offers a free City drive around tour as well as a tour of Rwanda’s Genocide, a tear-inducing museum, with giant wall displays, archival documents, photos, video footage and weapons encased in glass, which sheds light on the Rwandan genocide, as well its pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial roots.
