Long Description
The tour takes you into the forested habitat of the mountain Gorilla, where you get to view them with their young, foraging for food. Mountain gorillas are one of the most endangered animals in the world. Scientists estimate that there are about 700 individuals, living in 2 populations of about 300 each, separated by about 20 miles. There is a third population that lives in the Mgahinga range, and migrates between Rwanda and the Congo.
Rwanda is just south of the equator and thus, prone to hot humid weather. You are likely to encounter rain in the forests when you are trekking to locate the gorillas and the entire trek can take anywhere between 1 and 8 hours to locate the gorilla’s.
The peak season runs from June to September and then again from mid December to the end of February. Permits are required for all tours to see the Gorilla and need to be secured at least three months in advance.
