Rwanda 8-Day Gorilla and Cultural Tour
This safari tour combines adventure and culture to bring you the best of Rwanda. On this tour, you will get a taste of Rwanda’s culture and heritage by visiting the local villages and homesteads, and also experience the thrill of tracking mountain gorillas in the wild. At the local village, you will learn how the locals milk the cows by hand, and have the chance to try it out yourself. You will see how the milk is made traditionally into different products, and also have the chance to visit a local medicine man to see how different herbs are picked and prepared. You will also visit Lake Kivu and the traditional fishing villages to witness the daily activities of the local fishermen.
Your safari highlights on the tour include tracking mountain gorillas in the wild forests of Volcanoes National Park.
