Mountain Gorilla Tracking in Rwanda


Gorilla Cousins Rwanda offers Mountain Gorilla tracking in Rwanda all year round. As you are probably aware, sitting with the Silver backs gorilla image and their families and making eye contact is the world’s
most memorable wildlife encounter.  To minimize the impact that human contact has on the Mountain Gorillas and their environment, there have been a number of rules and regulations pertaining to Gorilla Tracking.   Unlike other Wildlife Safaris, Gorilla Tracking requires some preparation. The number of visitors permitted on the Tracks each day is limited, and so it is required to make a reservation to go and see them in the wild.  Once the booking dates have been confirmed, Gorilla Cousins Rwanda Can can apply on your behalf for the permits.  This process is something we take care of for our clients once they have booked a package with us. Our travel consultants will communicate with you throughout the process, and will confirm immediately as the permits are received by us..

Mountain Gorillas only exist in the 3 neighboring countries of Rwanda, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo; Gorilla Cousins Rwanda operates in both Rwanda and Uganda.  We do not operate in the Democratic Republic of Congo due to security concerns. Our website lists our most popular Gorilla Tracking packages many solely for Rwanda and a few for Rwanda and Uganda together.  For your information, there now exists an ‘East African Visa’ which allows an unlimited number of entries into the 3 countries of Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya.This visa is available upon entry into any of the 3 countries and is valid for 3 months at a cost of $100.
