Gorilla trekking involves hiking through dense forest on steep, uneven terrain and is not suitable for those with mobility limitations. Alternative experiences, such as visits to habituated gorilla groups at the forest edge, may occasionally be possible with special arrangements, but cannot be guaranteed.
Akagera National Park is more accessible, with game drives conducted in vehicles. Lodges can often accommodate specific needs with advance notice. Kigali's modern hotels generally have accessible rooms and facilities.
If you have specific accessibility requirements, discuss them in detail during trip planning. Rwanda's hospitality culture means providers will often make efforts to accommodate needs, but understanding limitations before booking is essential.
