3 Days Rwanda Mountain Gorilla and Golden monkey Adventure

Upon arrival at Kigali International Airport, you will be greeted by our representative and assisted through immigration. You will then be transferred to your hotel, where a tour briefing will take place in the lobby. Kigali, known for its cleanliness and scenic hills, offers a warm and peaceful welcome to visitors. After check-in, you will have time to relax. Dinner will be at the hotel. The evening is free for you to unwind and prepare for the exciting days ahead. We will prebook your packed breakfast so that you collect in the morning.

04h15: Early morning check-out. Collect your packed breakfast boxes from the reception and depart with your driver-guide for Volcanoes National Park Headquarters, travelling via Musanze to arrive at approximately 06h45. Enjoy a hot coffee ahead of the 07h00 gorilla trekking briefing. Following the briefing, you will be allocated a gorilla family suitable for your fitness level. The trek leads you through lush bamboo and montane forest as trackers guide you to your assigned gorilla group. Spend one powerful hour observing their behavior—feeding, playing, grooming, and interacting under the watchful presence of the silverback. After the trek, proceed to your lodge, arriving around lunchtime for check-in and lunch. The afternoon is reserved for rest and relaxation, allowing time to recover from the early start and the physical nature of the trek.

06h30: After an early breakfast, attend a briefing for golden monkeys at 07h00 and then proceed to the trailhead by 08h00. Golden Monkey Trekking in Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park offers a rare chance to see endangered golden monkeys in their bamboo forest habitat. With vibrant golden fur, these playful primates are fascinating to watch as they leap and forage, making this trek a unique wildlife experience amid stunning scenery. Once done, descend from the mountains and proceed to the lodge for lunch. Freshen up and check out. Have a brief rest. 15h00: Visit the Ellen Degeneres Campus for the Dian Fossey Fund for a self-guided tour. It’s a conservation center in Rwanda dedicated to gorilla research, education, and protecting mountain gorillas near Volcanoes National Park. Once done, you will drive back to Kigali. Arrive by 19h00 at Kigali International Airport. Bid farewell to your driver guide and proceed to check in for your flight.
