ABOUT 3-Day Mid-Range Gorilla and Golden Monkey Tracking Tour - Rwanda

Mountain gorilla tracking is a must-do and a once-in-a-lifetime experience when travelling to Rwanda. This 3-day trip will allow you to explore and spend time with the mountain gorillas in their natural habitat—Volcanoes National Park. This tour is remarkable since the mountain gorilla guardians were previously gorilla poachers themselves; however, they have learned about conservation and how tourism can bring hope to their families and change their lives for the better.
