Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda
There are 1000 mountain gorillas left in the world, and half of that population resides in the Virunga Mountain range spanning Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Gorillas are one of Rwanda’s greatest tourist attractions as well as animal conservation success stories. Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda can only be done in Volcanoes National Park; which is located in Musanze District in the north of the country, that is 116km/72miles and 2 hours drive from the capital city Kigali.

Chimpanzee Tracking in Rwanda
The chimp trekking in Nyungwe Forest National Park sets off from three reception centers; Kitabi, Uwinka (main) and Gisakura where tourists can meet the park ranger guides. The tourists are expected to be at the reception center as early as 4.30am and at 5 am drive to the starting point of the trek into the forest. Because the chimps nest somewhere new every night, there are trackers who go ahead of the trekking group to find them and communicate with the ranger guides. Tourists spend only one hour with the chimpanzees in Nyungwe Forest National Park and get to observe them closely going about their lives and see the human-like features and behavior that make them our closest relatives with 98.7% DNA. Every now and then the chimps communicate by way of deafening screams, loud pant hoots and thunderous slapping of the tree barks and buttresses.
