Golden Monkey trekking and transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

Day Itinerary
This morning, head for a Golden monkeys trekking experience that takes place in Volcanoes national park at 6:40 am. The golden monkey trekking, takes the same procedure as the gorilla trekking, however less, strenuous compared to gorilla trekking. These rare species are also listed as endangered – and Volcanoes national park currently has two habituated golden monkeys’ troops that are available for visiting by tourists in the park, both of which make about 50 members.
Golden monkeys in Rwanda live in the bamboo vegetation towards the base of the volcanoes and habituation has helped them to overcome their initial shyness to accept their daily visit by researchers and tourists.
Trekking golden monkeys, you can spend one hour with the monkeys once you find them.
Afterwards, we will enjoy lunch before driving to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which is roughly a 3 hour’s drive to your booked accommodation, for dinner and overnight stay.
