Meet the Mountain Gorillas
Situated on its north-western border, Volcanoes National Park is home to more than a third of the remaining mountain gorillas in the world. Your villa shares a border with the park and is the only villa in such close proximity to the habitat of the gorillas.
Setting off early in the morning for the 7am briefing at Volcanoes National Park’s headquarters your family and your guide will start the hike into the dense cloud forest. The distance of each gorilla trek is varied, so depending on which family group you will be visiting the duration of the trek is anywhere from a couple of hours to a full day.
As the age requirement for gorilla treks is 15, younger children will be cared for at the lodge where a variety of amazing activities are available. We can arrange cooking classes, arts and crafts, junior ranger programs for those not old enough to take part on the trek.
Following your time with the gorillas, you’ll head back to your lodge and spend some time relaxing over dinner as you let your ‘once in a lifetime’ experience really sink in.
