Golden monkey trekking and departure

Get up early and eat breakfast before heading to Kinigi's offices. The briefing begins at 7:30 a.m. and concludes at 8:00 a.m. You will then be led along other trackers to the beginning site, which is at the base of the Volcano. The view is stunning, with deep green forest and five volcanoes in all directions. The monkeys are easy to see because they enjoy eating bamboo, which grows on the lower slopes of the volcanoes. You get one hour with them when you locate them. If they move, you are free to follow them.

Unlike mountain gorillas, golden monkeys are not bothered by flash photography. They actually like being photographed. Due to their motion, taking excellent images is difficult, but making movies is simple. After an hour with the gorillas, you will return to the starting location and continue your return trip to Kigali.
