Itinerary Details
We depart from Kigali very early in the morning at 4.30am and drive to Musanze District so that we can be at the Park’s headquarters for briefing at 7 a.m. After briefing we proceed with our park guide who will lead us through the designated trails as we track the gorillas.
There are ten families of habituated gorillas in Volcanoes National Park. Gorillas do not stay in the same spot hence the need to do some tracking before we spend a magical one hour with them watching them feed on bamboo sprouts. They usually climb higher up the mountain in the dry season, and descend in the wet season, so our tour guide will be helpful to guide us accordingly.
After Gorilla trekking we have a chance to visit different shops for the locals gathered in the area and buy any souvenirs that we may like. We drive to Musanze city for lunch at La Palme Hotel and after lunch drive back to Kigali.
