Itinerary

4:30 am

Today at 4:30 am, your safari driver guide will pick you up from your hotel (You must have slept in Kigali) and drive off to Musanze. It’s a 2 hour long drive to get to the Volcanoes National Park in Ruhengeri, Musanze province which is a habitat to the endangered Mountain gorillas. You can take visually attractive pictures from the different stopovers along the journey and also get to have a cup of coffee at one of the local restaurant around.

7:30 am

At exactly 7.30 am, we move to the park’s headquarters in Kinigi Village where you are briefed by the ranger about the rules and regulations governing Gorilla tracking before you head off to the jungle.

8:30 + (1 to 6 hours)

The trek can last from an hour to six hours depending on the gorilla movement, but for your case since you will be having a flight on the same day, we will recommend a nearby family easy to trek though the trek is strenuous but much rewarding at the end. You will be given an hour with the gorilla to take as many pictures of your choice and later return to head park headquarters, and drive back to the airport for your flight with an enroute lunch along the way in ones of the local restaurants.
