Common Questions
3-Day Tour FAQ
Is 3 days enough for a Rwanda trip?
Yes, if gorilla trekking is your primary goal. 3 days covers arrival, one trekking day and a Kigali city tour, though it doesn't allow time for Akagera or Lake Kivu.
How much walking is involved in this itinerary?
The gorilla trek itself involves 1-6 hours of walking depending on where the gorilla family is located that day. The Kigali city tour is a comfortable, mostly vehicle-based day with short walks.
