A visit to Rwanda will leave you with unforgettable memories of a very special place – the warmth of the Rwandese people, the spectacular countryside and of course the iconic mountain gorilla. You will also be touched by the optimism and vitality of the Rwandan people who are working hard to rebuild their communities and livelihoods and who always offer a very warm welcome to all visitors.
This tour not only gives you the opportunity to see the mountain gorillas but also gives you a deeper understanding of their fragile environment and the issues that local people and wildlife face in today's Rwanda. You wil also have the chance to follow in the footsteps of Dian Fossey and trek the gorillas, with many of the older guides having worked alongside Dian Fossey herself. If you are lucky enough to meet them, they will offer you a fascinating insight into her work.
By joining this tour you are directly contributing to the ongoing survival of the mountain gorilla as well donating funds to the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project, where you will also have the chance to go behind the scenes at the project and meet first hand the researchers and see their work in action. Steppes Discovery was one of the first operators to start taking clients back to Rwanda once the door to tourism was re-opened and it remains one of our personal favourite destinations.
