Unforgettable gorilla Trek
Trekking mountain gorillas in Volcanoes NP was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Knowledgeable guide, skilled trackers, and a close encounter with a silverback and playful juveniles. Moderate hike, worth every step. Hire a porter, wear waterproof boots and gloves, and book permits early.

A once in a lifetime Gorilla Trekking Adventure to Rwanda and Uganda
Our recent gorilla trekking experience with Lux Gorilla Safaris in both Rwanda and Uganda was absolutely phenomenal and exceeded all our expectations! From the initial contact, Emmanuel was incredibly responsive and tailored the itinerary perfectly to our desired dates and budget. The booking process was seamless, and all our questions were answered promptly, which made planning an international trip feel stress-free. In Rwanda, trekking in Volcanoes National Park was exhilarating. Our guide, Bosco, was a true expert, navigating the terrain with ease and sharing fascinating insights about the gorilla families and conservation efforts. The hour we spent with the [Name of Gorilla Family, Agashya family was magical—watching them interact and play in their natural habitat is an image I'll cherish forever. The journey into Uganda to Bwindi Impenetrable Forest was a smooth transition, thanks to the professional drivers and comfortable transport provided. The trek in Bwindi offered a different, more dense forest experience, which was equally captivating. The accommodations selected by Lux Gorilla Safaris were excellent—comfortable, clean, and offered stunning views of the surrounding nature, a perfect place to relax after a long day of hiking. Safety was always a top priority, and the guides ensured we were well-briefed and comfortable throughout both treks. The logistics of crossing borders, arranging permits, and managing daily activities were handled flawlessly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the adventure. We highly recommend Lux Gorilla Safaris to anyone considering a gorilla trekking trip. Their expertise, dedication to client experience, and passion for wildlife conservation truly set them apart. Thank you, Lux Gorilla Safaris, for making our dream trip a reality!

Akagera two day trip
I went to Akagera for 2 days with Lux Gorilla Safaris. It was a nice trip. The boat trip is fantastic and the tour through the savannah too. Many animals seen. The journey through the savannah could raised slightly shorter for me. Emmanuities and Gabriel are nice travel leaders. They are a particularly pleasant company. Gabriel can drive very well. I can recommend the trip.

Amazing gorilla trek
We had a wonderful time thanks to our guide Magnifique. He was personable, knowledgable, kind, engaging and funny. Emmanuel was wonderful and helped us plan the whole trip start to finish. We had an amazing time touring the stunning Kigali. Had a moving and informative experience at the genocide memorial. Seeing the gorillas was life changing and something I will never forget. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It was a trip of our dreams and we couldn’t be happier!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for a positive review

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden monkeys Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kigali.
How much does 2 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden monkeys Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $3,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kigali usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden monkeys Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kigali is not rushed.
Is 2 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden monkeys Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kigali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden monkeys Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden monkeys Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden monkeys Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kigali can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kigali and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden monkeys Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kigali within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kigali?
+
On Outty we rank every Kigali experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include One-day Akagera National Park Game Drive with a Choice 4x4, One Day Akagera Wildlife Safari, Kigali City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kigali?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kigali?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 2 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden monkeys Tour?
+
Included: Private transportation; Other; and Dinner. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden monkeys Tour include hotel pickup?

What languages is 2 Days Rwanda Gorillas and Golden monkeys Tour offered in?
+
