Your adventure begins with a pickup from your Kigali hotel or the international airport, followed by a brief orientation. You'll then embark on a city tour (if you choose) that includes a visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial. Next, you'll head north through scenic countryside to Musanze, the entrance point for Volcanoes National Park.  

After checking into your budget-friendly accommodation near the park, you'll have time to unwind before gearing up for an exciting gorilla trek the following day.   Then dinner and overnight

After morning breakfast, head to the park headquarters to start your golden monkey tracking adventure. These rare primates, found in this region, have grown accustomed to humans.  You'll receive a briefing before setting off for the activity with an experienced guide. You shall later enter inside Volcanoes National Park for the activity. After an encounter, you will have one hour of physical interaction with them and return back to the park headquarters.  

You shall return back to the lodge and check out heading to the gorilla land Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. In the afternoon, transfer from Musanze to Bwindi through Cyanika border and later to the lodge, check and evening relaxation.   Then dinner and overnight

• ACCOMMODATION: Emirambi Gorilla Safari Lodge

• Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

An early morning breakfast will be served at the lodge, short drive and report to the park headquarters. Attend the general briefing by the Uganda Wildlife Authority ranger guide. Later, short entertainment from the local community.  Begin the walk to the gorillas’ natural habitats led by experienced armed ranger guides.   

As you glide through the impenetrable lash of the jungle, keep your eyes wide open, follow the trails and maintain maximum silence as this rewards a chance to see other primates in the forest and birds. When you reach to the gorillas’ sight, respect the gorilla distance as instructed by the ranger guide, avoid flash photography and obey other gorilla tracking rules and regulations.   

Use a chance to inquire everything you would wish to know about the gorillas from the guide while still interacting with the gorillas.  This gorilla tracking activity (up close observation) takes only one hour.    

After the tracking experience, you shall return back to the park headquarters, return back to the lodge, to freshen up before beginning your journey back to Kigali. The drive back takes about 5-6 hours, depending on border crossing clearances. 

Departure: Depending on your flight schedule, your guide will transfer you to Kigali International Airport for your departure flight or drop off at the hotel.
