What's this trip about?

    Rwanda ‘The land of a Thousand Hills’ is one of the smallest countries in the east African community, located in the Greatlakes region. With a lush of endless expansive mountains and natural beauty, the country boasts of a moderate climate throughout the year. The central and western parts of the country is dominated by mountains, while the eastern part is covered by savannah plains and swamps. This short gorilla adventure tour takes you to the northern part of the country, volcanoes national park in the Virunga transboundary region. The only region to see mountain gorillas in Africa in their natural habitat. Do you have a short time in Rwanda, or on a business travel in Kigali city? Volcanoes gorilla park is only 2 and a half hours away from the city, this is the perfect opportunity to trek these incredible apes in the shortest time possible.
