3-Day Gorilla and Chimpanzee Trek in Rwanda from Kigali

Rwanda offers an exceptional three-day safari from Kigali, combining mountain gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park with chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe National Park. This compact primate journey begins with the drive from Kigali to Musanze and Volcanoes National Park, a dramatic destination known for its endangered mountain gorillas and terraced hillsides. Along the route, visit the Kigali Genocide Memorial for an important cultural and historical experience, with the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund Museum also available as a highlight of the itinerary. The central wildlife experience is a full hour with a mountain gorilla family in Volcanoes National Park. A professional safari guide accompanies the journey, while the included gorilla trekking permit provides access to this remarkable primate encounter. The itinerary then continues south through Rwanda to Nyungwe National Park, one of Africa’s oldest montane rainforests. Here, an early-morning chimpanzee trek offers the opportunity to track chimpanzees in a rich rainforest setting. This Rwanda safari is designed for travelers seeking two different primate experiences within one focused route: close observation of mountain gorillas in Volcanoes and chimpanzee tracking in Nyungwe. Optional additions include a visit to Iby'Iwacu cultural village or the twin lakes of Burera and Ruhondo, offering further insight into Rwanda’s communities and landscapes. Accommodation is provided as listed, with meals as indicated, drinking water in the vehicle, and airport transfers included. Park entrance fees, professional guide services, gorilla trekking permits, and chimpanzee trekking permits are also covered. Priced at 2,840 USD per person, this three-day Rwanda safari connects Kigali, Volcanoes National Park, Musanze, and Nyungwe in one distinctive primate-focused adventure.
