    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.

    Incredible day

    Achraf_H, Dec 2024
    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!
