Gorilla Safaris

Embarking on a trek to encounter gorillas in the mountainous rainforest involves navigating hours of challenging hikes along steep, narrow trails and making your way through thick jungle, following a scout who clears the way with a machete. You should be in good walking shape – the guides make sure to include ample breaks – and well-prepared for a challenging setting. We suggest well-worn hiking boots that offer ankle support, paired with double-layered socks (cotton inners and thick outers) and knee-high gaiters. It’s important to note that gorillas are particularly vulnerable to human diseases; if you’re feeling under the weather with a cold or any contagious illness, you won’t be able to join the gorilla trek.

Superb guide through Rwanda I just finished a week with Emmy traveling to the highlights of Rwanda. In summary, I am hard pressed to believe that there could be anyone better. Emmy speaks excellent English and loves showing foreigners his country, of which he is extremely proud. He is very knowledgable about all aspects of interest—history (he does not shrink from the truth), geography, and of course the animals. He is highly intelligent, innovative (he showed me several things that were not on the itinerary but well worth the time) and very charming—not insignificant when you are in a car together for hours at a time. In short, highly recommended!

Best experience ever Emy è stato la nostra guida sui trasporti durante la nostra luna di miele in Ruanda. È sempre stato molto puntuale e ha un’ottima guida. Durante il viaggio ci ha fatto fermare in dei posti molto belli per mangiare ottimi spuntini e riposarci un po’. È un ragazzo molto simpatico ed educato, a lui abbiamo chiesto tante cose per capire meglio il Paese. Nella macchina che ha utilizzato per i nostri spostamenti aveva persino la possibilità di farci usare il Wi-Fi , davvero comodissimo. Inoltre è sempre stato gentile e disponibile, ed è stato proprio come trovare un amico e sentirci a casa. Super raccomandato, se dovessimo ritornare in Ruanda lo contatteremo sicuramente! Nel frattempo lo suggeriamo a chiunque abbia bisogno di questo servizio. Ciao Emy, a presto!!!Emy was our transportation guide on our honeymoon in Rwanda. He has always been very punctual and ne was an excellent driver. During the trip he made us stop in some very beautiful places to eat excellent snacks and rest a bit. He is a very nice and polite boy, we asked him many things to better understand Rwanda. In the car he used for our journey he even had the option of letting us use Wi-Fi, which was really convenient. He took us very beautiful pictures with his IPhone, since we crossed wonderful landscapes. He was also always kind and helpful, and it was just like finding a friend and feeling at home. Very recommended, if we return to Rwanda we will definitely contact him! In the meantime we recommend it to anyone who needs this service. Bye Emy, see you soon!!!

Life-changing experience The team is very professional and I was so impressed by their expertise. They aim to give you the best experience and best value. They truly have your interest at heart and don’t try to oversell you. They take care of all the details. I also appreciated the quick responses. During the gorilla trek, we did a “medium” level hike and saw the Susa family. It was amazing to be near them in their natural habitat. It was cold and wet but hot towels were waiting for us back in the jeep. We did the Golden Monkeys trek the following day and had an equally amazing experience. I can’t wait to book another trip with them!
