2 - DAYS RWANDA GORILLA TREKKING

TRIP OVERVIEW

For those with limited time yet an enduring aspiration to witness Rwanda’s mountain gorillas, our two-day gorilla trekking tour offers an accessible opportunity without straining your budget or demanding an extensive time commitment.

Commencing from Kigali and encompassing an overnight stay in Musanze, you’ll awaken rejuvenated for a morning of gorilla trekking. Upon concluding this remarkable experience, you’ll return to Kigali by evening.

Day 1: Kigali to Volcanoes National Park

Following breakfast, your journey will commence towards Musanze, Rwanda’s second-largest city. Nestled against the majestic backdrop of the five towering Virunga volcanoes, Musanze will serve as your concluding destination for the day, offering a welcoming dinner and a restful night’s slumber.

If your schedule permits, you have the opportunity to engage in optional local activities such as a visit to the Iby Iwacu Cultural Village or an exploration of the Musanze caves.

Day 2: Gorilla Trekking

Commencing with an early breakfast at your hotel, your day will unfold with a direct journey to the Volcanoes National Park’s headquarters, where you’ll convene with your guides. Following a comprehensive briefing, you’ll embark on an unparalleled adventure – the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to track the elusive mountain gorillas.

The duration and complexity of your tracking endeavor are unpredictable, hinging on the location of the gorilla family and prevailing weather conditions. This endeavor can span anywhere from two to six hours, involving trekking through the mountainous forest at considerable altitudes. Given the demands of the excursion, a reasonable level of fitness is strongly recommended.

Undoubtedly one of the most extraordinary encounters you will ever experience, your efforts will grant you a precious hour in close proximity to the gorillas upon locating them. Mere meters will separate you from these rare and magnificent creatures, enabling you to observe their familial interactions and gain insights into each gorilla’s unique personality in a tranquil ambiance.

Upon concluding your enriching time with the gorillas, your journey will lead you back to Kigali, concluding a day filled with remarkable experiences.

Kilimanjaro Lemosho route TTC were amazing throughout my trek to the Kilimanjaro summit in October 2022. Everything was organised so well but the really exceptional aspect was the team of local support staff and guide. AJ, Paul, Isaya, Joseph, Pascal, Renata and the 30 other fantastic people that carried, cooked, camped and cared for us. Absolutely loved every second, a trip of a lifetime, thank you 🙏

Once in a lifetime experience I climbed Kilimanjaro with the Tanzanian Travel Company (booked through Charity Challenge UK) in October 2022. Everything was superbly coordinated by TTC, who arranged everything from porters, transport, food, tents- pretty much everything we needed to get to the summit! All of the staff from the guides and porters were very friendly and their knowledge was unrivalled. Special mentions to our lead guide, Richard, who's advice was invaluable and the other guides and porters David, Eric and Joseph (there are too many to mention). Would definitely book again with TTC in the future.

Excellent experience I just got back from climbing My Kilimanjaro on a trip organised by Charity Challenge in the UK. All the ground arrangements in Tanzania were done through Tanzania Travel Company and I would highly recommend. Staff were all excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great trip and I’m considering organising a holiday for the family with TTC in the future.

Great company with excellent staff Climbed Kilimanjaro with the Tanzanian Travel Company at the end if July and the whole experience was superb. The guides, porters, cook, doctor & toilet man were unfailingly encouraging, helpful, cheerful and really seemed to enjoy their work. I would thoroughly recommend them.

An adventure you won't forget! The whole experience from start to finish was awesome and I most certainly won't forget it. From the hotel to the staff and porters who made our trek possible, the food was tasty and plentiful, we all felt like part of the team and very well looked after.I definitely recommend doing the Lemosho Route for a greater chance of acclimatisation. The summit night was by far the hardest part but well worth the effort (even I got emotional). I would urge everybody looking to climb Kilimanjaro to definitely train for a good 4-5 months before attempting this challenge, it will only enhance the mammoth achievement.

Fantastic time climbing Kilimanjaro thanks to TTC! I recently completed a climb of Kilimanjaro with a small group of 7, managed on behalf of Charity Challenge by Tanzania Travel Company. We had a fantastic (if gruelling) experience, and I cannot praise TTC highly enough. From the MD Sam and our chief guide Richard, through to every guide and porter who accompanied us (not forgetting Pius, our doctor), everyone combined the highest standards of professionalism with warmth and friendliness, and a genuine concern for both our well-being and our success in getting to the summit. Highly recommended.

Amazing family experience Excellent safari! Incredibly friendly and accommodating! I was having some difficulty finding a well priced thorough safari and was given a number by a family friend who highly recommended this safari company. As Tanzanians it’s rare for us to be able to see a safari but Samuel helped guide us through a plan for a truly unforgettable experience. We hide an amazingly well educated guide and driver Kamau who went out of his way to get us some truly amazing shots. At one point we were literally 2-3 meters away from 3 young male lions, I was in shock at what Kamau could point out. Food provided was excellent Tanzanian cuisine. My little brothers(8 yr)first safari and he had a fantastic time Highly recommend as a Tanzanian.

Excellent experience with TTC! Setting out to climb Mt Kilimanjaro was quite a challenge and the team at TTC made it a safe and enjoyable trip! They did an excellent job guiding us through each day of the climb. I also had the opportunity to go on a safari afterwards with a guide named Livingston and he did an absolutely fantastic job getting us close to the animals and knowing the best spots in the game drives. Highly recommend this incredible travel group!
