Gorilla trekking or tracking in Rwanda is one of the most enthralling wildlife tours you can do on your trip to Africa. The gorilla trekking tour is a unique wildlife adventure that offers one a rare chance to walk (trek) in the African jungle and track down a family of wild mountain gorillas. And, coming within 7 meters of these great apes in their natural home, without any barrier in between, is not only amazing but life changing too! Gorillas share 98% DNA with humans.
The gorilla trekking tour in Rwanda is done in Volcanoes National Park which is located in Musanze District in the north of the country, that is 116km/72miles and 2 hours drive from the capital city Kigali. Mountain gorillas are endangered species, with only about 1000 individuals left in the world and a third of these live in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park.
