This was a full day tour to see the mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park and visit the Gorilla Guardians community. I was lucky enough for Afri Safaris to help me get a gorilla permit in a short period of time during my stay so I would be able to go. My driver was kind and took good care that we arrived safely and it was nice to have cold drinks and WiFi in the car. I highly recommend this once in a lifetime experience!

It is tough walking through the jungle, but the experience and the opportunity to be so close to the mountain gorillas is worth every step.

Ben, the guide, was amazing! He had such a cool vibe, and the music in the car set the perfect mood. We even stopped along the way to take photos of the Volcanoes—so thoughtful! He made sure the trek to see the gorillas was easy and when we finally found them, it was truly a timeless, dreamlike moment.
Afterward, we visited Iby’Iwacu village, where we received the warmest welcome and experienced a glimpse of traditional life—it was such a unique and enjoyable experience. To top it all off, we had lunch at a local restaurant, and the day ended with a joyful ride back to Kigali.
I highly recommend this experience!
