Wake up as early as 6 am, enjoy an early breakfast and be ready to set off to Volcanoes National Park for gorilla trekking. Join other visitors at Kinigi Park Headquarters for briefing about gorilla trekking.
Led by a senior ranger guide, trek to the starting point and head into the forest searching for mountain gorillas. The trek takes approximately 2 to 4 hours or more depending on the movement of the gorillas and where they spent their previous night. Once you locate the habituated gorilla troop, you will spend one hour in their presence, watching them feed, observe the females care for their young ones and the silverback looking over his family.
After your incredible time with the gorillas, you will trek back to the starting point, meet your driver guide and return to your lodge for lunch and short rest. In the afternoon, you will head to the Ibyi’wacu Village for a cultural experience. Return to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
