FAQs

Is 3 days enough time for a gorilla safari in Rwanda?

Yes, it is the perfect duration for those with limited time. Because the drive from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park is only 2.5 hours, we can maximize your time in the forest. You get the full experience of both Gorillas and Golden Monkeys without unnecessary travel days.

What makes The Bishop's House a luxury choice?

The Bishop's House is a boutique property with only nine rooms. This ensures a highly personalized and tranquil stay. The rooms feature antique four-poster beds and fireplaces, providing a "colonial charm" that larger hotels lack. Furthermore, their 5-course dinners are among the best in Musanze.

How difficult is the Golden Monkey trek?

The Golden Monkey trekking is significantly less strenuous than the gorilla trek. These primates usually stay in the lower bamboo forests at the base of the volcanoes. Consequently, the hike is shorter and involves less steep climbing.
