After breakfast, we will visit the Giraffe Centre, established to protect the vulnerable giraffe species found only in East Africa’s grasslands. We will then transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for our flight to Kigali. Upon arrival in Kigali, our safari driver will welcome us and take us to lunch before driving to Volcanoes National Park. Nestled along the slopes of the volcanic Virunga Mountains and bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo, the park is renowned as a sanctuary for Rwanda’s rare mountain gorillas. Regulated treks allow visitors to spend an hour observing these remarkable primates in their natural habitat. From there, we will continue to Musanze in northern Rwanda, a scenic two-hour drive from Kigali through winding roads and rolling hills, before checking in to our lodge.
After an early breakfast, we will transfer to the park headquarters for the Golden Monkey trekking briefing and begin the trek at 08:00. This experience offers a chance to see the endangered Golden Monkeys, with their striking orange fur and playful behavior, in the lush rainforests of the Virunga Mountains. We will return to the lodge around noon for lunch. In the afternoon, we will visit the Ellen DeGeneres Gorilla Fund Museum to explore exhibits highlighting over 55 years of gorilla conservation. Dinner will be served at the lodge, where we will spend the night.
