7 Days Rwanda Safari Tour – Explore the Beauty of Rwanda

 A moderate level of fitness is generally recommended for gorilla trekking in Rwanda. While you don’t need to be an athlete, you should be comfortable with walking on uneven terrain and be in reasonably good health. The treks can involve steep climbs, navigating dense jungle, and walking for several hours. Hiring a porter to carry your backpack can make the experience more manageable. 

When trekking in Rwanda, the duration of your daily walk to see gorillas can vary significantly, but generally ranges from 3 to 6 hours. Some treks may be shorter, potentially around 2 hours, while others can extend to 8 hours depending on the gorilla family’s location, the terrain, and your group’s fitness level. 

The highest altitude for trekking in Rwanda is on Mount Karisimbi, which reaches 4,507 meters(14,787 feet) above sea level. It is the highest peak in Rwanda and is part of the Volcanoes National Park

It really depends on you. Is it your first time in Rwanda? How confident are you of being able to find your way around? How pressed on time are you? If you go through an agency, it will be costlier but everything will be planned. You will only have to come, trek and return.

In Rwanda, porters for gorilla trekking typically cost around $10 to $15 USD per day, and While not mandatory, hiring a porter is a common practice and highly recommended, especially considering that many porters are former poachers. Tipping guides and wardens is optional but common, with amounts ranging from $5 to $15 USD.
