2 DAYS RWANDA GORILLA SAFARI
DAY 01: ARRIVAL AT KIGALI, CITY TOUR AND TRANSFER TO VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK
Arrival and visit Kigali Genocide Memorial site before transferring to Volcanoes National Park the home of gorilla tracking activity.
Tracking gorilla families involves climbing through the forest, and time is very limited one hour (1hr) once contact is made with the gorilla families. It is a rare and memorable experience to visit and interact with these giant close relatives of man. Check in at hotel for dinner and rest (HB).
DAY 02: GORILLA TREKKING AND TRANSFER TO KIGALI FOR DEPARTURE
Prior to Gorilla trekking in Pac des Volcanoes, you will have breakfast and report to ORTPN offices for briefing after which you will set off for the forest to trek the Gorilla. A thrilling trek through the refined foothills of the Virungas provides inspiring views all around. The trail enters the national park, engrossing trekkers in strange closeness with the rain forest, alive with the calls of colorful birds and chattering of the rare golden monkey, and beleaguered with fresh spoor of the mountains’ elusive populations of buffalo and elephant. Gorilla trekking is quite expensive but a worthwhile on encounter with these gentle giants. The enthusiasm of your coming across these apes will wipe away your intricacy of the strenuous trek. Spend time watching gorillas, watch the adults feeding their young ones, brushing and resting as the youngsters play from vines in a pleasurably playful display. After drive back to the Hotel for lunch, drive back to Kigali and transfer at Airport for your flight. (HB)
