Golden Monkey Trekking and Transfer to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park

This morning, you'll head for a Golden monkey trekking experience that takes place in Volcanoes national park at 6:40 am. The golden monkey trek takes the same procedure as the gorilla trek, however, less strenuous compared to gorilla trekking. These rare species are also listed as endangered, and Volcanoes National Park currently has two habituated golden monkey troops that are available for visiting by tourists in the park, both of which make about 50 members.
Golden monkeys in Rwanda live in the bamboo vegetation towards the base of the volcanoes, and habituation has helped them to overcome their initial shyness to accept their daily visit by researchers and tourists.
Trekking with golden monkeys, you can spend one hour with the monkeys once you find them.
Afterwards, you will enjoy lunch before driving to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which is roughly a 3 hour’s drive to your booked accommodation, for dinner and overnight stay.

After this gorilla tracking experience in Uganda, you will have an informative and memorable experience in life.
