Overview
Two forest treks, a Kigali city day and a lakeside finish — the most …
Gorilla trekking is not a hike you can improvise. Permits are limited, allocated months ahead, and the difference between a good day and a bad one is usually logistics: which sector you are assigned, how early you leave, who carries what. We hold permits in advance, brief guests thoroughly the night before, provide porters and gaiters as standard, and position the group at the right park headquarters for the family we want. Everything else is designed to let people recover and talk about it.
