Minette - OverlandingAfrica.com28 Oct 2011: Hi Jodie. Ruhengeri which is also known as Musanze is an area in Rwanda that is used for our Gorilla trekking trips, this is also dependent on where your Gorilla Permit is obtained - which can either be in Uganda, Congo or in Rwanda. I have emailed you some more information. Cheers!
Jodie Wright27 Oct 2011: Good evening We (2people) are hoping to spend 7-8days in Rwanda. We would like to spend a couple of days in Kigali, gorilla trekking. primate trekking and maybe a couple of days relaxing at the lake. Have you got any tours this would fit in to? We are on a budget/backpacking and are quite happy staying in cheap accommodation/dormatories. Thanks for your help. Jodie
