Begin your day with an early breakfast before heading to Kinigi Park Headquarters for a short briefing and assignment to a gorilla family. Accompanied by expert rangers, you’ll set off into the misty forests of Volcanoes National Park, hiking through dense bamboo and lush vegetation in search of the gorillas. The trek may take one to four hours, offering chances to spot golden monkeys and colorful forest birds along the way.

Afterward, descend the slopes, return to the park headquarters for your trekking certificate, and enjoy lunch at a nearby lodge before driving back to Kigali, arriving in the evening to end your remarkable two-day adventure.
