A 1 Day Trip to Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda is the best recommended tour package to tourists with limited time, but they wish to meet up with their closest cousins ‘’mountain gorillas’’ said to have 98% DNA to human genes. Expect to experience a gorilla trekking safari or a hike to Mount Bisoke. Gorilla trekking offers a close experience with gentle giants in their natural habitat, while the Mount Bisoke hike provides impressive views of the Virunga Mountains and a crater lake.

Both options start and end in Kigali and include scenic drives through Rwanda’s rolling hills.
