Two-Day Luxury Gorilla Trek Itinerary

Day 1: Seamless Arrival and Volcanic Sanctuary Retreat

Your journey begins immediately upon arrival at Kigali International Airport (KGL) with a VIP Fast-Track Service, ensuring a swift and stress-free entry into Rwanda. You are greeted by your dedicated private guide and immediately transferred to the Virunga Mountains region. Guests may choose between an executive Private 4×4 Transfer, a scenic 2.5-hour drive in a luxury vehicle with gourmet refreshments, or the ultimate upgrade: a Private Helicopter Transfer that whisks you over the stunning “land of a thousand hills” in under 30 minutes. You will check into one of the region’s top-tier luxury lodges (such as Singita Kwitonda or Wilderness Bisate), where you are welcomed to your private villa, complete with breathtaking volcano views, a fireplace, and a personal plunge pool. The afternoon is dedicated to restorative relaxation; a complimentary post-flight/pre-trek spa treatment is arranged to prepare you physically for the next morning’s trek. The day concludes with a private, gourmet dining experience featuring farm-to-table cuisine, followed by a personalized trek briefing from your expert guide in the comfort of your villa lounge.

Day 2: The Gorilla Encounter and Executive Departure

A prompt, early-morning start is eased by a light, continental breakfast served in your villa. Your private guide will ensure a quick and prioritized process at the Volcanoes National Park Headquarters, allowing you to bypass typical group procedures. You will be assigned a gorilla family for trekking, accompanied by an expert tracker team and your personal porter to assist throughout the hike.

The Mountain Gorilla Trek is an intensely moving and profound experience, culminating in one precious hour spent observing a habituated gorilla family in their natural habitat. Upon returning from the forest, you are greeted back at the lodge with warm towels and a recovery-focused gourmet lunch. Following a quick change and luggage organization handled by your dedicated staff, you commence your efficient transfer back to Kigali International Airport. Whether by executive 4×4 or private helicopter, the transfer is timed precisely for your international departure. You are personally assisted through check-in and escorted to the VIP or Business Lounge, ensuring a smooth and relaxed departure, leaving you with the indelible memories of one of the world’s most exclusive wildlife experiences.
