Yes. Rwanda is widely regarded as a safe and welcoming destination for travelers. Tourist areas and national parks are well organized, and our professional guides are available throughout your journey to assist you and ensure a comfortable travel experience.

As with any destination, we recommend following normal travel precautions and your guide's advice during your stay.

Rwanda can be visited throughout the year, and the best time depends on the experiences you are looking for.

The drier months are generally popular for gorilla trekking, wildlife safaris, hiking, and other outdoor activities. The wetter seasons can also be rewarding, with greener landscapes, fewer visitors, and excellent opportunities for photography.

Our team can help you choose the most suitable travel period based on your interests and itinerary.

The standard gorilla trekking permit for international visitors is USD 1,500 per person. The permit allows you to participate in one gorilla trekking experience in Volcanoes National Park.

Special permit rates may apply to qualifying residents and African citizens. Permit availability is limited, so we recommend booking in advance.

Gorilla trekking can range from relatively moderate to physically demanding, depending on the location of the gorilla family you are assigned to and the terrain on the day.

The trek takes place in mountainous and sometimes steep terrain, so a reasonable level of fitness is recommended. Our guides will accompany you throughout the experience, and porters are available to assist with luggage and provide additional support.

We recommend booking your gorilla trekking experience as early as possible, especially if you are traveling during peak periods.

Gorilla permits are limited and are subject to availability for your preferred trekking date. Booking early also gives us more flexibility to secure your preferred accommodation and arrange the rest of your itinerary.

If your travel dates are flexible, our team can also help identify available dates and suitable alternatives.
