Rejseplan
Vågn tidligt op og kør til vulkaner. Tag ca. 3 timer og udforsk et land med tusinde bakker ved at køre ind i majestætiske bakker i den nordlige provins og gå til parken, som er præget af åbne græsarealer, bambusskove og sumpe. Volcanoes National Park strakte sig engang helt til dele af Virunga National Park i DR Congo. Parken ligger i en af Afrikas mest bjergrige zoner, herunder fem vulkaner - Karisimbi, Sabinyo, Bisoke, Muhavura og Gahinga. Mount Karisimbi er det højeste af dem alle på 4.507 meter. Volcanoes National Park er omkranset af Virunga National Park i DR Congo, Mgahinga National Park i Uganda og Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, da den blev omtalt som et stort beskyttet område kendt som Volcanoes Ecosystem. Der er omkring 360 bjerggorillaer tilbage i hele verden i dag, hvilket giver dig mulighed for at se halvdelen af disse tilbageværende gorillaer på ét sted.
4:30 om morgenen vil vores safari-chaufførguide samle dig op og køre til parken. Det er en 2 og en halv times kørsel at komme til Volcanoes National Park i Ruhengeri, som er levested for de truede bjerggorillaer. Præcis klokken 7.30 bevæger vi os til parkens hovedkvarter i Kinigi Village, hvor du bliver orienteret af ranger om reglerne og reglerne for Gorilla-sporing, inden du begiver dig ud i junglen. Vandringen varer normalt mellem 2 og 5 timer afhængigt af gorillafamiliens placering, og der er højst tilladt otte besøgende pr. gorillafamilie. Når du når gorillaerne, har du lov til at blive i en time for at se dem. Minimumsalderen for gorillatrekking i Rwanda er 15 år.

The day began at 4:30 AM when Dodos picked us up from our hotel in Kegali, we arrived at the briefing at about 7 AM where we had a nice cup of tea and were assigned our guide and group of 8 people for the day. The hike itself was more strenuous than I expected, and unfortunately, my daughter was sick so they ended up asking the local village to provide a stretcher to carry her with a rotating group of about 9 guys. It was an extra $200 but well worth it given how challenging it was to navigate the trails. A couple of guys lead with machetes, making space for us to travel about 3 miles uphill. Seeing the gorilla was incredible, it was beyond words to experience them in their natural setting for an hour. I know there are several different operators who organize these tours but I would highly recommend Universal Ventures due to their personal attention and going above and beyond when my daughter was sick. We ended up getting back to the hotel at about 8 PM, so a very long day, but one that we will never forget.
We had a fantastic experience in Rwanda with Dodos our guide and Emmanuel from the office! We had to deal with 2 cancelled flights and delayed baggage, and Emmanuel helped us reconfigure our itinerary so that we were still able to see the Genocide Memorial and go gorilla trekking. Dodos patiently waited for us at the airport even until 3am and helped us shop for clothes due to our baggage delay. He saved us quite a bit of money by bargaining with the locals. The arranged accommodations were very nice. Gorilla trekking is a lengthy hike but gratifying with the hour we had to hang out beside the family. Overall, Dodos and Emmanuel made Rwanda one of our most favorite countries we visited, even though our 5-day tour became 3 days. We highly recommend doing a tour with Universal Ventures Rwanda.
I would definitely recommend this experience in general and this operator specifically. They contacted me quickly to discuss arranging for the permit to see the gorillas (and extra fee paid directly to the Rwandan authorities). They also advised on how to prepare and answered my questions. On the day of, a really lovely driver picked me up from my hotel in Kigali on time in a luxurious jeep. He was friendly and encouraging as I was a bit anxious about the hiking which can be intense but my one wasn't that strenuous. It depends what the gorillas are up to and the park guides try to sort people loosely on fitness levels, I think. I hired a porter to carry my bag, and they also helped with uneven ground, which was not needed in this case but could have been very very essential if we had to walk through a steeper part of the park. The park staff then led my small group of tourists to see the gorillas, which was one of the most magical things I have experienced! The family of gorillas were very tolerant of us and we spent the full hour allotted with them (longer can stress them). After the walk back, Dodos, my driver, greeted me with a fancy drink and flip flops so I could get out of my hiking boots. We then had lunch at a restaurant o. The way back to Kigali. Overall, I felt very safe as a single female traveller and there were no unexpected costs.
Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish. Emmanuel is professional and knowledgeable so logistics ran smoothly. It’s luck of the draw regarding gorilla sightings on the trek itself but I got extremely lucky! Post-trek we stopped at a really cute restaurant for lunch en route back to Kigali. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour!
We had the best time with Mupenzi and Dodos! They made the whole trip unforgettable! There is nothing like seeing Gorillas up close in the wild!
Today was such an amazing day of adventure! Volcanoes National Park is an amazing and ethical way to see these beautiful creatures. Our trekking guide Mupenzi was so kind, fun, and knowledgeable. And our driver, Dodos was phenomenal. He is such a lovely person and incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
My experience was seamless from the coordination of my pick up and drop off, to the actual excursion! Hands down one of the best experiences of my life! Christian was extremely helpful and welcoming throughout our entire trip, it would not have been the same without him. Seeing the gorillas after the trekking through the thick brush, was absolutely breathtaking! I will definitely be recommending this trip to all my friends and family!
Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park was, without question, the highlight of my trip to Rwanda and one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had. Seeing mountain gorillas in their natural habitat is something that is impossible to fully describe—you simply have to experience it for yourself. From the very early pickup in Kigali to the trek itself, everything was exceptionally well organized. The scenery throughout the journey was breathtaking, and spending time with the gorilla family deep in the forest was truly unforgettable. Watching them interact with one another from just a short distance away was both humbling and awe-inspiring. A special thank you goes to my guide, Christian, who made the entire day even better. He was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing Rwanda’s wildlife and culture. He ensured that everything ran smoothly and helped make the experience stress-free and enjoyable from start to finish. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. If you are visiting Rwanda and wondering whether gorilla trekking is worth it, the answer is absolutely yes. It is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that I will remember forever.
I was originally in Tanzania for a safari but decided to add the gorilla trek at the end of my trip because the flight was too long to fly to Africa from California again at my age. I booked through Viator. From the beginning, communication with Universal Adventures was positive. They were prompt to answer any questions. And a few days before the excursion, they sent me my driver's name and WhatsApp number. His name is Christian.We communicated through WhatsApp, and he was very prompt to reply back. He was early to pick me up at 4:30am. I had another person in the car. The car was clean. Its a long drive to the meeting place. We stopped for breakfast pastries at a local shop( they take credit cards and had a clean breakfast. We then drove to the meeting place where we met up with our group. There they had hot drinks like coffees, lattes, teas, etc. We then had to drive to the beginning of the mountain. It was a long drive as the roads are not paved. My group was assigned the Isimbi gorilla family and our guide was Jolie. My porter was Adolf. I was the least active one in the group but the crew never made me feel bad. After what I thought was a 4 hr hike (it was really 1 hr and 26 minutes) we found our gorilla family. We had plenty of time to take pictures with them. After we were done, Christian took us to a rooftop restaurant. The food was delicious! I recommend this excursion 100%. The company is awesome and very professional.
Easy ride, the trip was one in a life time experience. The driver (Christian) was very nice and kind and made the trip smooth! Everything was great.
