Your gorilla trekking adventure begins in Kigali, Rwanda’s capital. An early morning departure (usually around 4:00 – 4:30 AM) ensures you reach Kinigi Headquarters in time for the mandatory pre-trek briefing at 7:00 AM.
Upon arrival at Kinigi (Volcanoes National Park HQ), you’ll receive a detailed briefing about the trekking experience, safety protocols, and gorilla families before heading into the jungle with expert rangers.
