Rwanda Luxury Safaris

Rwanda is small, intensely green, and quietly extraordinary. Volcanoes National Park protects a population of mountain gorillas in the mist-covered Virunga slopes, and the trekking experience here is the most curated and considered in the region. It draws you in with quiet intensity, and tends not to let go.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Rwanda gorilla trekking permit cost?

Rwanda gorilla trekking permits cost USD 1,500 per person per trek in Volcanoes National Park. Permits must be booked in advance through the Rwanda Development Board or a licensed tour operator like Orika Africa.

What is the best time to visit Rwanda for gorilla trekking?

Rwanda's gorilla trekking is available year-round. The dry seasons (June–September and December–February) offer better trekking conditions and clearer visibility. The green season (March–May) has fewer visitors and lush scenery.

Can I combine Rwanda and Uganda on one safari?

Yes, a combined Rwanda–Uganda safari is very popular. You can trek gorillas in Volcanoes NP (Rwanda), cross to Uganda for chimpanzees in Kibale, and add wildlife viewing in Queen Elizabeth or Murchison Falls. Orika Africa specialises in these multi-country itineraries.
