Gorilla Trekking Adventures

Rwanda is world-famous for its gorilla trekking experiences. Nestled in the heart of Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda offers one of the few opportunities in the world to see these majestic creatures up close. Gorilla trekking with Universal Ventures is not just a tour, it’s a life-changing experience.

Why Gorilla Trekking is a Must-Do in Rwanda

Seeing mountain gorillas in their natural habitat is on the bucket list for many travelers. These gentle giants can only be found in Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. What makes Rwanda stand out is the ease and quality of access, paired with expert-guided treks.

Best Seasons for Gorilla Trekking

The dry seasons, from June to September and December to February, are ideal for gorilla trekking in Rwanda. The trails are less muddy, and the weather is more comfortable for hiking through the forest.

Volcanoes National Park

Volcanoes National Park is a top destination for those seeking thrilling wildlife encounters. Beyond gorilla trekking, the park offers other activities such as golden monkey tracking and hiking to the summit of the volcanoes.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Volcanoes National Park is home to five towering volcanoes, dense forests, and incredible biodiversity. Expect a challenging but rewarding trek through the mist-covered mountains, where you’ll be greeted by unique flora and fauna, including the famous mountain gorillas.

Wildlife Safaris in Akagera National Park

Akagera’s Rich Wildlife

The park’s diverse ecosystems—ranging from savannahs to swamps—are home to a wide variety of animals. Alongside the Big Five, you might spot zebras, giraffes, and antelopes, not to mention over 480 species of birds.

Game Drives and Boat Safaris

Chimpanzee Tracking in Nyungwe Forest
