Day 4: Gorilla trekking Day & Cultural Day 5: Golden Monkey Trek and drive

experience to Kigali City

Early morning transfer at the park headquarters, arrive in time
for briefing before your start your guided walk at 08h00 in
search of the gorillas. The Volcanoes National Park is a
forested area in the Virunga Mountains that border Rwanda,
Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This is
Rwanda’s premier tourist attraction, with the mist-covered
volcanoes of the Virunga being one of only two locations in
the world where you can track a habituated family group of
mountain gorillas.
The high point will be spending an hour with the remarkably
peaceful gorillas despite their size and appearance as they go
about their daily life, feeding, playing, resting and raising their
young.
After this memorable experience, you will return to the lodge
for lunch followed by brief rest.
This afternoon, you will visit the Iby’Iwacu Village for cultural
experience. While most of the focus of the Volcanoes National
Park falls squarely onto the animals, this ‘cultural village’ puts
the spotlight back onto the people.
Visitors get to experience Rwanda village life by grinding
seeds, firing bows and arrows, taking park in a traditional
intore dance and even partaking in the marriage of a king to
his queen. After this amazing experience, you will descend
from the mountains.

to the park headquarters for the Golden Monkey trek briefing at 7am,
