Does this tour already include the gorilla trekking experience?

The space is there if you need to track gorillas and in Rwanda a gorilla permit cost: $1500( USD) per person so it's expensive.

Can you tell me roughly what the group size would be?

For this trip, the minimum number of participants required for the departure to operate is 2 persons, and the maximum is 6 guests per safari vehicle (jeep). As you are currently 2 adults, the departure is guaranteed to operate. However, I would like to mention transparently that group sizes can vary. While we can accommodate up to 6 guests per vehicle, it is possible that you may travel as just the two of you for the full 7 days in Rwanda, depending on final bookings. In either case, the experience remains exceptional — whether you enjoy a more intimate safari with just the two of you, or share the adventure with a small group of fellow travellers. Our vehicles are spacious, window seats are guaranteed, and the itinerary is carefully designed to ensure comfort and the best wildlife viewing opportunities.

Is the stop at the Royal Palace definitely the one in Nyanza? Do you have extensions to Volcanoes National Park? What are the main details and price? I will fly from Kigali to Burundi on November 13 at 2:30pm, is this timing okay?

Yes, the itinerary includes a stop at the Royal Palace in Nyanza. We offer extensions to Volcanoes National Park for gorilla trekking, golden monkey tracking, and cultural visits. The November 13 flight at 2:30 pm works perfectly with our current itinerary.
