Rwanda Gorilla Safari FAQs
What is the Best Time to Book Gorilla Safaris In Rwanda?
The best time to book Rwanda Gorilla Safaris is at least 6 to 12 months in advance, especially if you are planning to travel during the country’s peak dry seasons—June to September and December to February. These months are the most popular for gorilla trekking because the weather is relatively dry, the forest trails are less slippery, and photography is much easier. During these periods, Rwanda attracts many international tourists who want to experience the world-famous Rwanda Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park. Since the number of daily gorilla trekking permits is strictly limited to protect the gorillas and their fragile habitat, they sell out very quickly. Booking early ensures that you secure your trekking permit, which is the most important part of your safari. It also gives you better chances of reserving your preferred lodges, guides, and transport options at the best rates.
How Many Gorilla Families Are in Volcanoes National Park?
Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda’s flagship destination for Gorilla Safaris, is home to around 12 habituated gorilla families that visitors can trek. These families have been gradually habituated by researchers and park authorities, meaning they are comfortable with human presence for a short time each day. Each group is led by a dominant silverback, supported by females, juveniles, and infants, creating a fascinating social structure that visitors get to observe during gorilla trekking.
The 12 gorilla families available for trekking include well-known groups such as Susa, Amahoro, Umubano, Kwitonda, Hirwa, Agashya, Ugenda, Karisimbi, Bwenge, Titus, Isimbi, and Muhoza. Each of these groups has a unique history, ranging from strong silverback rivalries to heartwarming stories of nurturing infants. For instance, the Susa Group—originally studied by Dian Fossey—remains one of the most famous and sought-after families, while smaller groups like Umubano offer more intimate encounters.
