Volcanoes National Park - Kigali (Gorilla trek)

06h00: Wake up to the crisp mountain air and the sounds of the forest coming to life. After an early breakfast, you will head to the park headquarters for a briefing on gorilla trekking. Here, expert guides will assign you to a gorilla family based on your fitness level and preferences.
The trek itself is an adventure, weaving through dense jungle, crossing streams, and navigating varied terrain. Along the way, your guide will share insights about the forest ecosystem, pointing out medicinal plants, bird species, and signs of other wildlife.
After descending from the forest, return to the lodge to freshen up and enjoy a well-deserved lunch. Later, visit the Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, a state-of-the-art conservation center dedicated to protecting Rwanda’s gorillas and preserving their habitat.
As your journey comes to an end, begin the drive back to Kigali, passing through picturesque landscapes one last time.
