gorilla tracking through the virungas

January 21st, 2011

It’s an amazing feeling to look a 500-pound gorilla in the eye and have him stare right back. Voyage Privé is giving members a chance to experience the rare wild silverback gorillas in Rwanda with a four-night Gorilla Expedition, one of today’s new exclusive offers available on the Voyage Privé website and new iPhone app.  The expedition allows guests to follow in the footsteps of famed American zoologist Dian Fossey and includes daytrips led by expert guide Clare Richardson, the CEO of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.

The Gorilla Expedition includes two full days of gorilla tracking in Rwanda’s Virunga Mountains bordering Uganda and Congo and a visit to the Karisoke Research Center to learn of Dian Fossey’s role in helping this beautiful endangered species.  Aside from gorillas, guests will also explore Rwanda by visiting the local markets of Kigali, climbing the Visoke/Muhavura volcanoes, and enjoying full room and board at the stunning Virunga Safari Lodge and five-star Kigali Serena Hotel.

The Gorilla Expedition (June 18-22, 2011) is available on Voyage Privé until midnight on January 28; rates are $4,599 per person, which includes a donation to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
