DESCRIPTION

The unique opportunity to see twelve gorilla families in their natural habitat is unforgettable, some even say life changing. Encounters with gorillas as they go about their daily lives are carefully managed, with expert trackers and guides leading small groups of tourists up bamboo-covered slopes to spend a precious and awe-inspiring hour just a few feet away from the gentle creatures.

Kigali City Tour will allow you to learn about the history of Rwanda by visiting Kigali Genocide Memorial and other Museums.
