Responsible tourism tips
Gorilla trekking tips
Paul Calcutt at our supplier of gorilla trekking holidays in Rwanda, Natural World Safaris:“All the guides that we use are the best of the best. Some safari companies are more about offering a copper bath, but we are more about the experience, the wildlife viewing and the quality of the guides first. And our clients are, too. That is not to say that luxury lodges and services are not available, they certainly have their place in a location such as this, just that our priority is always in providing luxury experiences. I would always recommend that people take more than one visit to the mountain gorillas. Every time is so very different from the others, after your first visit you will relax significantly and perhaps spend less time so focused on taking pictures but actually absorb the experience a lot more.”

Tips for families
Accessibility
Simon Mills from our supplier Native Escapes on gorilla watching in a wheelchair:“In Rwanda, you can be carried in a throne chair by porters to see the gorillas of Virunga. The walk very much depends on the location of the gorilla families, so it can be as little as 30 minutes or as long as 4-5 hours. Of the seven groups that can be seen, there are a few that tend to be found on the saddle between Mount Sabyinyo and Mount Gahinga which is about two hours from the park entrance. You need to be ready for up-and-down terrain, and the odd overhanging branch, but it’s very doable”

Rwanda tips from our holidays reviews


“Get fit!! Don't worry about the hotels food etc as all fantastic and take a smaller lens than you think when visiting any of the apes, monkeys etc and use the porters!!” - Chrys Mellor
“Don't be put off for travelling in short wet season. We went at the end of Feb and still saw many animals.” - Chris Hehir
“Be aware that the gorillas can be quite high up. I personally found the walk from 2400m up to 3000m very, very testing.” - Stephen Cragg


“Definitely take toilet roll and sweets as some of the journeys in the truck are long, maybe even a pack of cards. Wet wipes or hand gel is a must and make sure you enjoy the trip and don’t spend too much time seeing it through the lens of your camera!” - Angela Platt
“Do hire a porter when trekking as not only will they carry your bag, but they're happy to give you a helping hand when the track gets muddy and slippy. In addition, you will be giving someone a day's income. Do your research on tipping before you go so that you're familiar with the going rates.” - Siofra Brennan
