Review of Kigali gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park, with costs, itinerary, permits, fitness advice, and practical tips.
“I had the tremendous experience with Unique Africa Venture and John, my driver guide. Even though it was peak season and permit was sold out at the official website, they somehow engaged with the authority and find a spot for me. And tour itself was very special. I was able to see many gorillas very clearly even though it was in the mountain. I’d recommend anyone considering and suffering to find a spot for gorilla tracking to go with this company”
Trek mountain gorillas from Kigali in two days, cross into Uganda, stay near the park, and get practical advice on permits, fitness, and value.
“Jeff, our guide, was outstanding. He was driver and tour guide on our drive from Kigali. Accommodations were very good for the area we were in with excellent service. Gorilla trekking was good as we trekked about 2-hours to find the gorillas. Highlight was a 1-year old baby. Would have been great to see them more active as they slept most of our observation hour. One downside is that you move at the pace of the slowest trekker. We asked to be split up on the way back and they accommodated as we had a plane to catch. Trek out was much faster.”
By the kind of day you want, or the country you are standing in.
