9-Day Rwanda Primate Safari: Gorilla & Chimpanzee Trekking

About this tour

Experience a Rwanda primate safari on this expertly crafted 9-day journey, combining chimpanzee trekking in Nyungwe Forest and gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park. From the cultural heartbeat of Kigali to the mist-covered rainforests of Nyungwe and the volcanic slopes of the Virunga mountains, this safari blends meaningful encounters, breathtaking scenery, and refined comfort throughout. Track chimpanzees in the ancient Cyamudongo Forest, walk high above Nyungwe’s canopy, encounter colobus monkeys, and observe the lively golden monkeys of Volcanoes National Park. The journey culminates with two unforgettable Rwanda gorilla trekking experiences — offering rare insight into one of the world’s most iconic and endangered species. Rwanda’s mountain gorillas are one of conservation’s greatest success stories. Protected and thriving within Volcanoes National Park, they live in tight-knit family groups led by powerful yet gentle silverbacks. Spending time with them reveals intimate behaviours, strong maternal bonds, playful juveniles, and the remarkable social structure of these gentle giants. Thoughtfully paced and seamlessly guided, this Rwanda primate safari brings together the country’s finest wildlife, cultural, and scenic experiences — a journey designed to inspire, educate, and leave lasting memories.
