Afterwards, begin your scenic drive north-west toward the Uganda border, passing rolling green hills, terraced farmland, and rural villages. After completing border formalities, continue to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, Uganda’s smallest but most dramatic national park, located in the Virunga volcanic range.
Mgahinga Gorilla National Park (Gorillas)
After an early breakfast, head to the ranger station for a detailed briefing on gorilla trekking protocols and safety. Led by expert trackers and a ranger, you’ll enter the misty forest in search of a habituated gorilla family in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park. Once located, spend up to one hour observing these gentle giants from a safe distance as they feed, groom, and interact. Return to the lodge to relax and reflect on this unforgettable experience.

Later, cross back into Rwanda and transfer to a lodge near Volcanoes National Park for dinner and overnight.
Volcanoes National Park (Gorillas)
