The trek may take between two to six hours depending on their movement, but the reward is priceless — an hour spent observing these gentle giants up close as they feed, groom, and interact.
After your trek, return to your lodge for lunch and relaxation. In the afternoon, you can enjoy a nature walk or visit the Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village to experience Rwandan traditions through music, dance, and storytelling.
