1-daagse Gorilla trekking vulkanen nationaal park
Beschrijving
De eendaagse Rwanda-gorillatrektocht neemt je mee naar het Volcanoes National Park, een thuis voor de resterende bedreigde berggorilla's, die zijn gebleven dankzij de inspanningen van onze geliefde Dian Fossey, ooit de grote primatoloog, ze werd op brute wijze vermoord in haar hut in een afgelegen kamp in Rwanda in december 1985. Er is een theorie dat haar moord verband hield met haar pogingen tot natuurbehoud, waarschijnlijk door een stroper. Ontbijt in de vroege ochtend en ontmoeting met onze gids rond 4 uur 's ochtends en rijden naar Musanze en rond 7 uur 's ochtends ben je op het hoofdkwartier van de vulkanen voor een briefing over de berggorilla's en de vulkanen. Ga daarna het bos in om GORILLAS te volgen. Wanneer je de gorilla's ontmoet, kun je foto's en/of video's maken. Dit duurt normaal gesproken 1 uur met hen tot de middag, daarna ga je lunchen. na de lunch bezoek je het gorilla-voogddorp voor cultuurervaring. Rijd vervolgens terug naar Kigali naar je hotel.

Thank you sooooo much for travelling with us, your support is highly apprecieted and thank you sooo much for giving us the opportunity to plan your trip.
As a solo female traveler I was slightly hesitant to head to Rwanda alone. But oh would I do this again in a heartbeat! The country is SO safe and welcoming, the people are just wonderful. Judith Safaris put me so at ease as they organized everything so quickly and kept in constant communication. My guide Justine, I don't even have words, she's the most epic person I've ever met! Don't hesitate, and just book, it's better than you could ever imagine!

Asked to pay on payment link through Whatsapp and cancel on tripadvisor. Should be avoided if you want tripadvisors payment protection.
Hello Ilidiko , This seems like a misunderstanding ,as we explained during the phone conversation we explained to you that we recently experience a fraud /scam issue on our viator account . some one managed to hack through our account and changed our bank account credentials to his. this is to mean that every single payment that would be made on our viator page was going straight to his account ,we realized this after making a big loss but we reached out to the concerned viator team and the case is being looked through . this is the only reason to why we reached out to you to either cancel or book directly and pay by a payment link . This was not intended to scam you just so we are clear Judith Safaris is a professional company . we again apologize for any misunderstanding . Thank you , with Best regards.
During the 2 years of COVID, the gorillas apparently missed the "visitors" so much they wandered down into the local villages looking for them. We felt privileged to visit these primates in their home jungle. Our guide, porters and gunman were exceptional. Our gorilla family was quite a mobile one, which meant we had to walk quite awhile to catch up, helped by porters through dense jungle of the Virunga Mtns. On arrival, our family was sleeping, or trying to without much success due to the antics of the littlest member of the troupe who kept jumping on the other gorillas trying to entice them to play. We visited for an hour watching them play, snooze, eat and interact with each other. Our guide was "speaking" to the family anytime they appeared unsettled which resulted in a spectacular visit for us. We started to leave when the Silverback decided it was time for the family to move on as well, and the entire family trouped past us, nearly trodding on our toes. We got it all on film and video and we were delighted with our experience. Top knotch service by our guides and porters, who helped us over the jungle floor which is littered with vegetation, fall tree trunks and vines. It was a memorable day and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
We are really Glad that you enjoyed your Gorillas trek, thank you so much for letting us be a part of orgnizing your trip and we cant wait to host again.
we thank every one who has given us support towards conservation of mountain gorilla. your support makes us feel comfortable towards keeping our closest we make sure mountain gorillas are always in good shape , that's why we encourage every one to cooperate with us and take Covid PCR test to ensure our gorillas are free from covid.
Thank you so much Volcanoes team
I didn't know what to expect. It was a long walk through difficult terrain. We were encouraged to hire porters to carry our bags and help us along the more difficult spots. These porters were once the poachers in these jungles, now they support themselves and their families by helping us get to experience the wonder of these magnificent creatures. As we got close to our Gorilla family (The Agashya family) I started to feel electrified and giddy. Was I really going to spend an hour with Gorillas??? Our family was one of the largest with 21 members and 3 silverbacks. Gorillas do not kick out the alpha once he gets old. His sons, though stronger than him, respect his place in the family until death. We turned a corner and our amazing guide Roger warns us that the gorillas are close and then suddenyl I am 4 feet away from the giant alpha silverback.!!! I was initially shocked, how were we permitted to be so close???, other Gorillas were grazing only a few more feet away, I was certain we were going to be attacked but we were barely acknowledged. I am in awe of how tolerant and accepting these Gorillas are. We watched lovers flirt and a little chest-beating to show prowess, we watched children jump and play. We saw young ones fall out of trees and giant silverbacks lie on their backs and play with their feet. This was the experience of a lifetime. I cannot even begin to explain the feelings that this trip left me with or the warmth in my heart at being able to have this experience. I am ever greatful of the guides, guards and porters that all made this an epic day to remember.
Ooooooohhh amazingly experience Thank you so much for booking with us, we really appreciated a lot!
I had an amazing time on my gorilla trek! Judith Safaris is fantastic company to organise your trip through, they’re very reliable and very friendly. They were also super helpful in getting me organised for me trip (eg with regards to the Covid test (Dec 22)) and picking me up at my hotel the morning of the trip. I had an amazing time with the gorillas, made possible only through the dedicated organisation by Judith Safaris :)
Dear Marlen, Thank you soooo much for booking with us, it was really nice guiding you and we are glad you enjoy your trip
I arranged for a one day visit to see the Gorillas at the very last minute. Sharon from Judith Safaris was fantastic in helping me get everything together and providing excellent information on what to expect on the trip. For example, I had to get a PCR test on Saturday with results coming the same day. Sharon told me where to go, sent me a pin for transportation, and told me how to make it clear I needed the result that day. Sylvie was my driver and guide for the day. She was wonderful and took great care of me. Her english is excellent (not unexpected but important to travelers), she is fun and engaging, she took care of all the details, and was timely in all our activities. Seeing the gorillas was amazing. The trekking was completely doable though not easy. I always look for women owned businesses to support and this one over delivers on value
Oooooohh thank you so much for booking trip with and we are very glad you made it and enjoy it.
