Tag 2
Gorilla-Trekking im Volcanoes National Park
Day 2 is the day for trekking into the wilderness to spot the rare local animals. You will head to the Volcanoes National Park gate immediately after breakfast to get a briefing about the gorilla trek. The national park guide will conduct the presentation that covers the basics of what to expect during the gorilla trek and instruct you on how to behave in order to ensure the safety of guests and the animals. You will then embark on your tracking adventure, making your way through the rainforest until you find a family of mountain gorillas. The gorilla trek can take from 3 to 6 hours on average, depending on how far the gorillas are inside the forest. It could last longer, so be prepared just in case! In the afternoon, you may visit the Ellen DeGeneres Centre to learn about the conservation efforts of Dian Fossey.
Tag 3
Golden Monkey Trek im Volcanoes National Park & Transfer zum Kivusee
We will start the day with a golden monkey trekking adventure in Volcanoes National Park. This primate is native to the high-altitude forests of the park. Once we have seen their playful interactions, we will head out of the park and transfer to Lake Kivu (Kibuye area). The transfer to Lake Kivu will take about 3hrs.
Tag 4

Transfer to Nyungwe Forest National Park. The drive from Lake Kivu (Kibuye area) to Nyungwe Forest National Park is estimated to take about 3-4hrs. Join the Nyungwe Canopy walk in the afternoon in the Nyungwe forest. Dinner and overnight at Nyungwe Forest.

Nyungwe Forest is a haven for chimp trekking in Rwanda and visitors have more than a 50% chance of encountering the animals. If you are lucky, on the Nyungwe trek you might encounter different species of primates that call the area home. These include the Rwenzori colobus, blue monkey, L'Hoest's monkey, and red-tailed monkey. After the chimp trek, drive back to Kigali for dinner and overnight.
