Transport for gorilla trekking in Rwanda
Gorilla trekking is the centerpiece of many Rwanda trips. We handle the transport and timing around it, so the early start to Volcanoes National Park feels organized rather than stressful.
What we help with
Trekking days start early. Groups gather at the park headquarters near Kinigi in the morning, so most travelers either stay near Musanze the night before or leave Kigali very early. We plan the drive, the timing and the pickup so you arrive calm and on time.
We arrange the transport. We do not issue permits and we do not control availability or pricing.
About the permit
The foreigner (non-resident) gorilla trekking permit is commonly listed at USD $1,500 and is booked through the official Rwanda Development Board portal. Prices and availability change, and permits can sell out for popular dates, so confirm and secure your permit through the official source well ahead of your trip.
How a trekking day usually fits together
- Stay near Musanze the night before, or start very early from Kigali
- Morning briefing at the park headquarters near Kinigi
- The trek itself can be short or long, depending on where the gorilla family is
- Back to your lodging or onward to your next stop in the afternoon
