Golden monkey trekking and transfer to Kigali for outbound flight

Have breakfast then head to the forest in search of the golden monkeys. These are a local subspecies of the widespread skyes monkey, known as the “blue monkey”. Seeing these playful and inquisitive monkeys leap from bamboo branches or frolicking on the forest floor is awesome. This park is home to lots of primates including the gorillas as well. It is from this that this park has its tagline, “where gold meets silver”.
In the afternoon, depart with your guide back to Kigali where you continue with your own onward flight arrangements.
