Gorilla Trekking and Transfer back to Kigali to end the tour

You'll wake up early in the morning for breakfast. You'll then drive to the park headquarters with your packed lunch. Then, you'll undergo a briefing about gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park. You'll form a group of 8 to track a gorilla family. Led by a ranger and a guide, you'll start trekking in search of the gorilla family. The time taken to see the gorillas depends on where they spent the last night and their movements in search of food, but it takes between 30 minutes to 6 hours to find them. Upon finding the gorilla family, you'll spend an hour in the presence of these magnificent creatures. You can use this time to take photos, record videos, and watch the gorillas' way of living and their behaviors. After lunch and seeing the gorillas, return to the starting point and then head to the lodge for relaxation, dinner, and overnight stay.
