Frequently asked questions
Do I need a permit for gorilla trekking in Rwanda?
Yes. Permits are issued by the Rwanda Development Board and are limited each day, so book early. We arrange the permit as part of your trip. The minimum age is 15.
How far is Volcanoes National Park from Kigali?
Around two to three hours by road, so a gorilla trek can be done on a short trip from Kigali.
