Trekking can take anything between one and four hours and a maximum of one hour is spent with the gorillas. After lunch at Mountain Gorilla’s Nest Lodge, there will be time to visit the scenic Lake Ruhondo and Burera. Overnight will be at Mountain Gorilla’s Nest Lodge. Whilst accommodation here is basic, it is the perfect base for Rwanda gorilla tracking.
