Amazing hike, through volcano terrain, to try and locate the very rare Golden Monkeys. We found them, in amidst the bamboo forest.. really amazing..! Also, a must see, for fans or rare primates, volcano hikes, beautiful terrain.

An amazing experience

The permits are expensive, but I feel that the experience is definitely worth it. After hiking through rural villages and into the rain forest, our guides were able to locate a family of gorillas. For the next hour we observed them from only a few feet away. One got up on his hind legs to beat his chest and an infant poked its head out from time to time from the protection of his mother. We got soaked from the rain on the hike back, so I recommend bringing a raincoat and rain pants.

Great scenery, on the border with Rwanda and the DRC! One can go see gorillas and probably birding is great there too. I went for the scenery and for a dive in the (perfect) crater lake on top of the volcano! For this specific trip all is not too polished. I guess that (for the price) a gorilla visit should be a lot smoother...
