Day 2: Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park
Wake up quite early for breakfast and then transfer to the park office at 7.00am. Leave the lodge with your packed lunch boxes as we may not predict how long the trek may take. Meet with the park staff for briefing and allocation of the Gorilla group to track. From the park headquarters, drive to the starting point where you will find a free walking stick and porters for hire at only $10. When an hour elapses after finding and observing the Gorillas, trek out of the park to the starting point. Join your driver and drive back to the lodge. Evening relaxation.
Day 3: Golden Monkey trekking, Transfer to Lake Kivu
We shall return to the park for Golden monkey tracking before transferring to Lake Kivu. Golden monkeys are unique to the Virunga Mountains living in bamboo forests at the base of the mountain. Tracking them does not take long and not strenuous like the Mountain Gorillas trek. You will return to the lodge after tracking, check out and transfer to Lake Kivu for relaxation and a boat ride.
Day 4: Boat ride, Return to Kigali for departure
After your delicious breakfast at the lodge, you will take a boat to explore Rwanda’s largest fresh water body. You will then embark on your journey to Kigali. End of the 4 Days Rwanda Gorilla Safari and Lake Kivu.
