Day by Day Overview
Your private guide with a safari 4WD vehicle, will meet and greet you at your Hotel in Kigali. You will then visit the Kigali Genocide Museum to pay your respect for victims of 1994 Rwandan Genocide before leaving the lively capital for the drive north-west through lush hills and bustling market towns, for approximately 2.5 hours, to the stunning Volcanoes National Park. The park is well known as the venue for Dian Fossey’s pioneering studies of the mountain gorillas.
Overnight at Mountain Gorilla View Lodge or similar
Early morning breakfast will be followed by a transfer to Kinigi park headquarters for Rwanda gorilla trekking briefing. Afterwards hike up into the rainforest to find a troop of magnificent mountain gorillas. Each troop has its own 24 hour guard, so their location is known, and once located you usually have an hour with them, time to sit and observe them at very close quarters indeed. After the day experience transfer back to the lodge.
Overnight at Mountain Gorilla View Lodge or similar
Another early morning start for a trip to track the golden monkeys. These primates are beautiful, endangered and more agile than the mountain gorillas. They live in bamboo thickets on the lower slopes of the mountains and tracking them acclimatizes you perfectly to the slight altitude marking your last views of the park’s environs. Drive for roughly 2.5 – 3.5 hours south-east back to Kigali marking an end to your safari. Your private guide and 4WD vehicle will drop you at your onward location or at the airport.
