1 Day Gorilla Trekking Safari Tour
Description
The trek takes an hour to about 8 more depending on where the gorillas had been the previous day. The hike is quite strenuous but all the more rewarding once you set your eyes on the gentle mountain gorillas. They always move in a big number with the Silverback at the lead. You will watch them carry about their day to day routine like the juveniles playing, mothers feeding their young ones and the Silverbacks taking watch out for their families avoiding any predator.

Highly recommend especially as a solo traveler! Book with ilyce! She is the BEST— and has all the qualities you want in a driver and tour guide! Best experience ever and hope to get back!
Fantastic experience, great experience with the gorillas, they were very active and got very close. Driver and guide went above and beyond to ensure comfortable journey throughout the day. Overall, far exceeded my expectations.
Shalom Safaris curated a first class all inclusive mountain gorilla encounter. From Paul's excellent transport and knowledgeable explanations to the staff of the park service, everything was meticulously managed. Porters, trackers, and guides were superb. And of course the stars of the show shined bright. The gorilla family ranged from animated and uninhibited young to indifferent adults. Our day trip concluded with an excellent lunch and a return to Kigali. BTW Rwandan infrastructure is excellent.
The experience was worth every penny and more. My guide Muhammad was exceptional. The ride to the gorillas, he answered my many questions about Rwanda with a friendly and enthusiastic nature. The gorillas experience was fantastic. The mountain guides were professional yet friendly and we got very close to the many gorillas, including being charged by the silver back at the end. But as we were told prior to the trekk, the charge was a bluff, but still very exciting. The experience was so good, I will be back and hope to have Muhammad again.
I had a good experience to visit mountain gorillas in the moderate mountains climate. The service with the company was very professional and perfect, the vehicles, guiders and the leading👍…
I love the experience, and what a privilege to witness such of animals in there own turf. A overcast day is what photographers needs for pictures perfect and thats what we had. The staff (driver) Mico was outstanding, considering the task need, and very helpful with his knowledge, clean and comfortable vehicle, serving me with water and meal . Excellent choice of restaurant for the way home. Thank you to you all, great job. Jacques of Canada
