3 Days Gorilla Tour Rwanda

Description

This 3 Days Rwanda gorilla trekking safari will offer to an opportunity to explore the amazing Volcanoes national park. The Volcanoes National Park is located in Rwanda’s northwest and extends over 62 square miles, including rain forest and five of the eight volcanoes that make up the larger Virunga region. These are Muhabura, Karisimbi, Sabinyo, Bisoke, and Gahinga, among others. Mgahinga National Park in Uganda and Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are both bordered by the park.

As the former home of Dian Fossey, a renowned primatologist, and as the habitat of mountain gorillas and golden monkeys, Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park has gained international recognition. In order to save mountain gorillas residing on Mount Mikeno, Karisimbi, and Bisoke, the volcanoes national park was first established as a park in 1925 as part of the larger Virunga Conservation area. After a period, its borders were delineated to include solely Rwanda. Since 1967, the park has been referred to as Dian Fossey’s home base all over the world. She putted a lot of effort into preserving the park’s mountain gorilla population and spreading awareness of their struggle and potential extinction. Fossey introduced ground-breaking discoveries in gorilla study, despite being assassinated in 1967. Many people think mountain gorillas would have gone extinct by now if it weren’t for her efforts. In addition to mountain gorillas and golden monkeys, the Volcanoes National Park is also home to the black-fronted duiker, forest buffalo, bushbucks, elephants, and the spotted hyena. About 178 documented species are what birders might expect to see.

Along with other partners and foreign organizations, the Rwanda Development Board is in charge of maintaining the park. More money is made through tourism in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park than any other national park. Gorilla tourism is especially gratifying, while some travelers have stayed away due to the recent increase in the cost of gorilla permits. In Rwanda, a gorilla permit costs $1500. The majority of the money earned is used to preserve animals and keep the national park in good condition. In addition to gorilla trekking, visitors can ascend Mount Karisimbi, go to Dian Fossey’s tomb, search for golden monkeys, visit the Iby’iwacu Cultural Village, or explore the twin lakes of Ruhondo and Burera.

A 3-day gorilla tour of Rwanda also includes a trip to the Iby’iwacu Culture Village and a city tour of Kigali. You may learn about Rwandan culture while visiting the village, and you can enjoy local songs, folktales, and cultural dances. To understand more about the awful Rwandan genocide, gorilla tours in Rwanda begin and end in Kigali with a trip to the Gisozi genocide memorial.
