Itinéraire
Le réveil matinal et le trajet vers les volcans prennent environ 3 heures. Explorez un pays de mille collines en conduisant dans les collines majestueuses de la province du nord et dirigez-vous vers le parc caractérisé par des prairies ouvertes, des forêts de bambous et des marécages. Le parc national des volcans s'étendait autrefois jusqu'à certaines parties du parc national des Virunga en RD du Congo. Le parc se trouve dans l'une des zones les plus montagneuses d'Afrique comprenant cinq volcans - Karisimbi, Sabinyo, Bisoke, Muhavura et Gahinga. Le mont Karisimbi est le plus haut de tous à 4 507 mètres. Le parc national des volcans est bordé par le parc national des Virunga en RD Congo, le parc national de Mgahinga en Ouganda et la forêt impénétrable de Bwindi lorsqu'il a été classé comme une grande zone protégée connue sous le nom d'écosystème des volcans. Il reste environ 360 gorilles de montagne dans le monde aujourd'hui, ce qui vous donne l'occasion de voir la moitié de ces gorilles restants au même endroit.
À 4h30, notre chauffeur guide safari viendra vous chercher et vous conduira au parc. Il faut 2 heures et demie de route pour se rendre au parc national des volcans de Ruhengeri, qui est un habitat pour les gorilles de montagne en voie de disparition. À 7h30 précises, nous nous rendons au siège du parc dans le village de Kinigi où le garde forestier vous informe des règles et réglementations relatives au suivi des gorilles avant de vous diriger vers la jungle. La randonnée dure normalement entre 2 et 5 heures selon l'emplacement de la famille de gorilles et un maximum de huit visiteurs est autorisé par famille de gorilles. Une fois que vous atteignez les gorilles, vous êtes autorisé à rester pendant une heure pour les voir. L'âge minimum pour le trekking des gorilles au Rwanda est de 15 ans.

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.
Amazing experience seeing the gorillas. Dodos picked me up in Kigali and was very helpful through the whole process. He even had cold drinks when I finished the gorilla trekking. Highly recommend!
Me and my partner have always dreamed of doing gorilla trekking so when Christian helped this come to life it was surreal! As tourists we felt incredibly safe and welcomed with Christian he was super knowledgable and happy to share lots of description and reasoning with all our questions to help us learn and understand the culture. We also did a cultural village visit, Golden Monkey Trek, Diane Fossey Museum and women’s centre. All suggested and planned with Christian from Universal Ventures Rawanda. Any requests we had were never too much for Christian he was always happy to help. I would 110% recommend Christian to all my friends and family who I know want to come to Rawanda. Thankyou for making our dreams come true!
Kim was my guide for my experience with the gorillas. He made the day so comfortable. Everything was perfect! We also had many conversations about everything. I definitely recommend traveling with him!!
My gorilla trekking experience in Rwanda was absolutely incredible. We found the gorillas within about an hour of hiking, and seeing them up close was unforgettable. The baby gorillas were especially playful and entertaining to watch, constantly moving around and interacting with each other. In contrast, the silverback was calm, quiet, and completely self-focused — somehow both powerful and peaceful at the same time. The gorillas were not scary at all, and we never felt threatened during the experience. The guides were fantastic: experienced, knowledgeable, and very entertaining throughout the trek. One of our guides even shared stories about crossing paths with Dian Fossey, which made the experience feel even more special and connected to Rwanda’s conservation history. One important tip: make sure to secure your trekking permit well in advance, as spots are limited and can sell out quickly. A truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that I would highly recommend.
We chose the long route, but it was worth it. We were amazed; the guides were great, and the drive from Kigali was not too long with the agency driver, NEZA, who was truly excellent from start to finish. The agency manager was a great help; he was super and available, assisting us with all the procedures.
Seeing gorillas in their natural habitat was incredible! A truly serene experience. The tour was well planned and could not have been more perfect. The entire team guided with professionalism and love. My porter, Jacqueline, was wonderful and took great care of me. My personal guide/driver, Kim, was a delight! I learned much about Rwanda from him on the drive. I was surprised he greeted me with champagne toast! The day could not have been better.
Everything was top. Very professional. I can highly recommend the company.
Super correct organization punctual and friendly helpful
