DAY 2 – Gorilla Trekking


Taking your gorilla trekking gears walk to the ranger station for briefing where you will be allocated into groups of 8 and later in the company of a guide proceed to the forest. Gorilla trekking is an incredible safari that tests your patience as the mountain gorillas keep moving in search for food.

On top of this, you may have the chance of meeting other primates like grey checked mangabey, vervet monkeys, black and white colobus monkeys to mention but a few. For birders, this trip is a double blessing for you to spot the albertine endemics.

While in the field, you have to follow the ranger guides instructions because the gorillas get to see you before you do so you need to be very observant. When you finally get to meet the gorillas, wait for the guide to instruct you to take photos so that you do not miss out on the best moment with the gorillas that others have enjoyed.

As you draw closer to the gorillas, try to lower your voices and stay closer to the ranger guide as he has to observe the mood of the gorilla family before allowing you to have some moment with them.

The first sight of the sheer size of dark hairy bodies of the mountain gorillas may stimulate your adrenaline but controlling yourself will make this trek a success. Watch the family go on with the day today activities and take photos.

Try not to touch the infants as they are keenly watched over by the entire family. After an hour, return back to the lodge carrying only memories of the fantastic encounter.

Golden Monkeys in Rwanda

DAY 3 – Golden Monkey /Visit the Diane Fossey Grave


Early in the morning, embark on the journey to search for the rare golden monkeys. This is a very special specie of monkeys found just in very few forests in the world. You may also opt for a trek to the Diane Fossey grave the historical American Biologist who was brutally murdered for conserving the mountain gorillas.

She laid down her life for the survival of mountain gorillas that each body is currently enjoying to visit. Return to the lodge and relax.

Kigali City Tour Rwanda

DAY 4 – Kigali City Tour


Kigali is a very interesting African city to visit as it is bordered by a series of highlands and one if the cleanest African cities.

Take some moments and listen to the story of Rwanda, later visit some of the families of the survivors of this inhuman war where parents were separated from there children, brutal murders were done. The progress of Rwanda is so mesmerizing as of today.
