Ruanda announced twenty-four newborn gorillas during their yearly Kwita Izina ceremony in northern Ruanda on September 5, 2015. This has placed Ruanda on the international map in relation to mountain gorilla conservation and promotion. The following material should be carefully reviewed for individuals getting ready for gorilla treks in Ruanda in 2016 and 2017.
Driving time to Volcanoes N P for Ruanda’s gorilla trekking
If you travel in to Rwanda via Kigali Airport for gorilla trekking in Ruanda, kindly be advised that you will have to move to Volcanoes National Park, which is situated in northern Rwanda often known as Ruhengeri. Depending on your arrival time, you could stay a night in Kigali town or move straight to Volcanoes National Park from Kigali city.
It takes two to three driving hours. Given Rwanda’s mountainous terrain and fog covering much of the country, including highways, individuals who believe they can drive from Kigali and subsequently arrive in time for the gorilla hiking briefing in Ruhengeri/Kinigi may find it difficult. Driving a day before gorilla trekking in Ruanda is usually preferable, much as the travel duration is not too great.
