2 Day Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Tour
Overview
This budget 2 Day Rwanda Gorilla Trekking Tour gives you a change to meet the Rwanda’s endangered mountain gorillas on just one weekend and be back to work in time. This happens in jungles of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park.
The Volcanoes National Park is a 2.5 hour’s drive from Kigali City thus making this package idea for short stay and business travelers who would want to check out the Gorillas prior to leaving the country. A big chunk of the funds collected from the Gorilla Permits goes to the Rwanda government’s conservation efforts of the Gorillas thus making it a worthwhile endeavor to track the Gorillas while in Rwanda.
