3-Day Rwanda Luxury Gorilla Tracking
3-Day Rwanda Luxury Gorilla Tracking: a 3-day private safari with Afrisites, starting from Kigali. The route is Kigali, Volcanoes National Park. Built around a Kinigi gorilla morning in Volcanoes National Park. Road days are the real west-Uganda or Rwanda distances, not padded shopping stops. Lodges are the top of the range we can confirm for your dates. Gorilla and chimpanzee permits are collected in your name before you fly.
From US$3,250 per person sharing
