Yes, gorilla trekking is very safe. Treks are strictly regulated by Rwanda Development Board (RDB), with rangers and expert guides ensuring both guest safety and gorilla conservation. There have been no recorded tourist attacks.

• Hiking boots & long-sleeve clothing (to protect from thorns/insects)
• Rain jacket & waterproof backpack (rain showers are common)
• Gloves & walking stick (for grip on slippery terrain)
• Binoculars & camera (for wildlife spotting)

Moderate to challenging. Gorilla trekking involves hiking at high altitudes (2,500–4,000 meters) through dense forests and steep terrain. Treks can last between 1 to 6 hours depending on gorilla locations.

Safari costs vary depending on the length of stay, level of luxury, and activities included. Gorilla trekking permits alone cost $1,500 per person, while full packages range from $3,000 to $19,000+ per person for luxury experiences.

The best time to visit Rwanda is during the dry seasons (June–September and December–February). These months offer the best wildlife visibility for gorilla trekking and Big Five safaris in Akagera National Park.
