Group Gorilla Tours

Hello everyone
I am travelling to Rwanda in November, and am very much lookign forward to trekking to see the mountain gorillas. However, all of my research so far has led me to trips that are organised as per the request, and I really would like to join some sort of organised group trip to do the trek. I think it would be much more enjoyable than just me and the guide!
Does anybody know of any companies that organise trips like this?
Thanks in advance.

Ben

Search this board.

ALL trips are organized and you will be put in a group of 12 (who all get there either themselves or through different tour companies). Once you start the trek, your tour company has nothing to do with it anymore.

Thanks very much, this information hasnt been clear to me so far either on the net or on these forums.

Cheers.

I also am going to Rwanda to see the gorillas in November (amazing coincidence) and looking to join a group. The days I have available are November 13, 14 and 15th (as I fly into Kilgali the 12th and leave the 16th). We should join forces to solve our mutual problem.

Hi Ben, I'll be in Rwanda from October 30 for three weeks and plan to hire a driver/guide for about 5 days to visit Akagera, Nyungwe and of course the Volcanoes (mountain gorillas) National Parks. The costs are high and I wouldn't mind sharing them ;-) I asked for and got quotes from two agencies for a tour starting October 31 but could change the dates. Interested?

Hi Spaceman18 and Sylvia7, We are two friends visiting the Parcs in Rwanda 12-19 Nov and looking to share some of the transport costs if you are interested in teaming up. I've just put up a new post with the details.

A number of companies also run all-inclusive tours-- Mountain Travel-Sobek, Wilderness Travel, various others.
