Rwanda · 6 nights
Gorillas of the Rift
The journey.
There are experiences that rearrange you, and an hour with a mountain-gorilla family is one of them. Rwanda has made it possible with rare grace — a country of astonishing recovery, hills the colour of every green there is, and lodges that would hold their own anywhere.
The forest A guided trek up through the bamboo, then the moment the guide raises a hand: a silverback, a mother, an infant testing its arms — a family, going about its morning, entirely unbothered by yours.
The hills After the mountains, the lakes: a canopy walk, a coffee farm, and evenings by the fire while the mist settles into the valleys.
Six nights, one hour that stays with you for life.
Make this journey yoursQuestions people ask about Gorillas of the Rift
- How many days do you need for Gorillas of the Rift?
- We build it as 6 nights, 7 days. That is the length that lets the route breathe without adding a night nobody needed.
- How much does Gorillas of the Rift cost from India?
- From ₹22.5L for two people, land only. That is our starting price for the whole journey rather than a per night rate, and international flights are quoted separately at cost.
- When is the best time to go?
- The great migration river crossings run roughly July to October, and calving season is January to February. Both are worth planning the trip around.

- Kenya requires an electronic travel authorisation applied for online. Tanzania is an e visa. Both are normally quick. Rules change, so we confirm the current requirement for your passport when we plan the trip.
- How long is the flight from India?
- Around eight hours non stop from Mumbai to Nairobi, or nine to eleven with one stop from Delhi.
- Is this a private trip or a group tour?
- Private. The itinerary, the guide and the vehicle are yours alone, and every date is set around you rather than a fixed departure.
- Can the itinerary be changed?
- Yes. Gorillas of the Rift is a starting shape, not a fixed package. Add nights, swap a city, change the hotel standard, or tell us what you would rather do with a day and we rebuild it.
