Gorilla Trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest and Afternoon Border Crossing to Volcanoes

Gorilla trekking is an exhilarating adventure, and the trek can vary in length depending on the location of the gorilla families. Expect to hike through dense vegetation, steep hills, and sometimes muddy paths. The trek can last anywhere from 1 to 6 hours, but the physical effort is well worth the reward. Once you locate the gorillas, you’ll be allowed to spend an hour observing them in their natural habitat. This intimate experience is a rare and powerful opportunity to witness the daily lives of these incredible creatures up close.
During your time with the gorillas, you may observe mothers caring for their young, dominant silverbacks leading the group, and playful young gorillas interacting with each other. The rangers will provide informative insights into the gorillas' behavior, social structure, and conservation efforts.
This unforgettable experience is one of the most awe-inspiring wildlife encounters on the planet.

Golden Monkey Tracking in Volcanoes National Park and Afternoon Road Transfer to Kigali Airport

Your day will begin early with a briefing from your 4-Day Uganda Rwanda Primates Safari guide before setting off into the bamboo forests in search of the golden monkeys. Unlike gorilla trekking, the golden monkey trek is typically easier, as the monkeys live at lower altitudes and are generally more active during the day. You’ll have the opportunity to watch them as they forage for food, play, and interact with each other.
Golden monkey tracking offers a fantastic opportunity to observe another fascinating species in their natural habitat. After spending time with the monkeys, you’ll return to your lodge for lunch.
After the golden monkey trek, you’ll enjoy a relaxing lunch at the lodge before embarking on the 2-3 hour road transfer back to Kigali. Along the way, you’ll pass through rolling hills, scenic landscapes, and vibrant rural communities. Upon arrival in Kigali, you’ll be transferred to Kigali International Airport for your departure.
