Experience the epitome of luxury and VIP treatment with our exclusive Gorilla Trekking adventure in Rwanda. Attracting discerning travelers who seek the finest experiences, we take pride in delivering professionalism and expertise when organizing these safaris. Over the past five years, Rwanda has established itself as a premier luxury destination for Gorilla tracking, exemplified by the increased Gorilla permit price of USD 1500 per person, as set by the Rwanda Development Board. This rise not only aims to cater to luxury travelers but also facilitates significant improvements in the overall quality of tourism services and accommodations.
Our Luxury and VIP Gorilla Trekking tour centers around the renowned Volcanoes National Park, situated in the northwest of Rwanda, near Ruhengeri. This sanctuary is home to the endangered mountain gorillas, captivating golden monkeys, diverse bird species, and an array of forest mammals. The park’s enchanting montane forest ecosystems feature open grasslands, swamps, Bamboo forests, and heath vegetation, creating an unforgettable backdrop for your journey.
To ensure your exceptional experience, we offer a range of activities, including Gorilla tracking in Volcanoes National Park, Golden Monkey tracking, and a hike to the remarkable Dian Fossey Tomb. With easy access from Kigali City or Kisoro in Uganda, our VIP Gorilla Tour promises an extraordinary adventure, meticulously planned according to our core values and expertise in organizing Rwanda Gorilla Tours. Embark on this once-in-a-lifetime expedition with Iconic Africa Safaris and immerse yourself in the grandeur of Rwanda’s natural wonders.
When planning a truly luxurious and exclusive Gorilla Trekking Tour in Rwanda, there are several key factors to take into account to ensure an unforgettable experience:
Exclusive Gorilla Trekking and Permits:
For an exclusive and private gorilla trekking experience, you have the option to book a specific gorilla family just for your group. This means you’ll have the entire family to yourselves during the trek. However, keep in mind that this requires booking all the available permits for that particular gorilla family, which amounts to eight permits at USD 1500 per person per trek (totaling USD 12,000). Securing this exclusive experience will involve obtaining permission from the Rwanda Development Board, and our team can assist you in this process.
Luxury Accommodation:
Choosing the right luxury accommodation is crucial for a VIP Gorilla Trekking Tour. Rwanda offers various upscale lodges, each providing top-notch service and comfort. Some excellent options include Sabinyo Silverback Lodge, Bisate Lodge, Virunga Volcanoes Lodge, Five Volcanoes Hotels, and Mountain Gorillas’ Nest Lodge. These lodges offer a range of prices from USD 500 to USD 1000 per person per night, ensuring a premium stay during your time at Volcanoes National Park. All lodges strictly adhere to COVID-19 safety protocols to ensure your well-being throughout your stay.
Bisate Lodge:
Among the top luxury lodges, Bisate Lodge stands out as Rwanda’s premier super luxurious and eco-sensitive safari lodge. Located in the natural amphitheater of an eroded volcanic cone, the lodge offers unparalleled quality and value. It caters to high-end clients and can even be exclusively reserved for your desired dates. With stunning views of Karismibi and Bisoke Volcanoes and the chance to spot gorilla families nearby, Bisate Lodge promises an exceptional experience.
Exclusive Transportation:
Transportation is an essential aspect of a luxury gorilla trekking tour. We recommend using customized 4×4 luxury land cruisers or jeeps to ensure comfortable travel throughout your journey.
Experienced Porters:
Having enough porters during your gorilla trek is vital. These knowledgeable and experienced individuals assist and support you during the trek, providing a push and pull as needed and carrying your backpack throughout the journey.
High-Level Security:
For VIP travelers, safety and security are paramount. To ensure a worry-free experience, Rwanda National Police will provide the necessary security measures to protect you during your travels. Iconic Africa Safaris Ltd will collaborate with the Ministry of Security and Internal Affairs of Rwanda to arrange this service.
Medical Support:
To address any medical emergencies during the trip, it’s essential to have access to an ambulance and health officials. This additional support will ensure quick attention and first aid if needed, contributing to the overall success of your Luxury and VIP Gorilla Trekking Tour in Rwanda.
For an unforgettable and exclusive Gorilla Trekking experience in Rwanda, it is highly recommended to plan your luxury and VIP tour during the quieter periods of the year, which are typically the beginning and end of the high season. By doing so, you can avoid the crowds and potential competition for coveted gorilla trekking permits. For a truly serene and intimate encounter with these magnificent creatures, consider booking your tour between the months of March to May and November. During these months, the number of tourists tends to be lower, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the breathtaking beauty of Rwanda’s wilderness and have a more personalized and extraordinary gorilla trekking adventure.
