If time allows, you start with a city tour with a visit to the Genocide Memorial. Later, proceed on the drive with breaks for lunch and refreshments. You'll arrive at the park just before dusk, enjoy a delectable dinner, and then retire for the night.

Day 2

Gorilla trekking and transfer to Kigali

Gorilla trekking and transfer to Kigali

Your gorilla-trekking experience will begin in the morning after a hearty breakfast. You will then drive to the park headquarters where you will meet the park ranger guide who will first take you through a briefing about the do's and don'ts while tracking. He will then lead you to the forest to trek for these endangered mountain gorillas.

The mountain gorilla trekking lasts from an hour to 8 hours, depending on where the gorilla family will be spotted because they keep moving to look for food. It will not bore you as you will be enjoying the calls of the birds and watching over primates as you search for the endangered mountain gorillas. After a successful trek, embark on your journey to Kigali, arriving in time for your connecting flight.
