What to expect
Day 1: Golden Monkey Trekking & Mukungwa River Canoeing
Volcanoes National Park
4h
Private transfer from Kigali to Volcanoes National Park
This morning, your driver will meet you at your hotel and transfer you to Volcanoes National Park.
The journey is approximately 106 km and will take between 2 to 3 hours.
Today you will head out into the forest to track an endangered species of monkey known as the Golden Monkey. Spend 1 hour watching the monkey families play in the forest! This is a wonderful wildlife encounter as the proceeds from tourists visiting goes towards the research into the protection of this species and how to preserve their environment so that they do not become extinct.
This rare species is listed as endangered and there are currently two troops of monkeys of around 80 members, that have been habituated to visits by tourists in the park. You will trek to find the golden monkeys in a similar way to the gorilla trek, in a small group of no more than six people, spending one hour with the monkeys once you have found them.
Musanze District
2h
The start is a 15 minute transfer from central Musanze (add about 15 minutes from Kinigi). Here your activity leader will give you a briefing on the riverside before you get on the water. The first section is a flat and easy opportunity to learn how to steer your canoe as you float gently downstream. After about 20-30 minutes you will pull over for a short additional briefing about the small rapid, where helmets must be worn. Then as you continue deep into the countryside, you are surrounded by the sights and sounds of rural Rwanda.
Day 2: Mountain Gorilla Trekking & Ellen DeGeneres Campus - Return to Kigali
Volcanoes National Park
5h
On arrival, everyone will be split into groups of up to 8 people – and maybe joined with other tourists – before being allocated a ranger. You will then drive a short distance to the start of the trail, from where you will trek in the forest for around 1-3 hours or so to meet the gorillas. When you find them, the hour you spend with these incredible primates is a true lifetime experience that you will never forget. Note that the gorilla permits will be purchased at extra costs depending on Nationality.
