Day to day itinerary details
Gorilla Trekking
After breakfast, we’ll head to the park office for a briefing before heading to the depths of the jungle for what is a most unique wilderness experience. Thereafter, the rangers will walk you down the narrow forest paths through thick undergrowth. Once found, the rangers will brief us on the dos and don’ts before making any contact with the mountain gorillas. We’ll spend up to 1 hour watching the gorillas in their natural habitat. We’ll get in proximity with the gorillas as you quietly observe them play, eat, forage, groom, sleep, and sometimes watch them mate. After trekking, we’ll break for lunch in the forest before embarking on the hike back to the starting point. After a long day’s trek, return to the lodge.
Return To Kigali
Have an early breakfast and then start your journey back to Kigali. If time permits, we’ll have a Kigali city tour. Thereafter, your driver will drop you off at Kigali Airport for your return flight.
