Day 2

Volcanoes National Park, Gorilla Trekking, Twin Lakes Visit and Community Walk

Volcanoes National Park, Gorilla Trekking, Twin Lakes Visit and Community Walk

Enjoy an early and delicious breakfast before your driver-guide takes you to the park headquarters by 8 AM for a briefing. Afterward, embark on an incredible adventure—gorilla tracking! This activity usually requires hikers to have a moderate level of physical fitness. The trek can take anywhere from 1 to 6 hours, and once you locate the gorillas, you will have the opportunity to observe them for 1 hour. It is truly a remarkable experience to see them play, care for each other and feed.

During the trek, hikers may also spot other wildlife, including golden monkeys, elephants, buffalos, and a variety of birds. After the trek, you will be escorted back to the lodge for lunch. You can then choose to visit the beautiful twin lakes, Burera and Ruhondo, take a walk through the local community to watch traditional dances, or simply relax in the afternoon at your lodge.
