Transfer to the briefing area in the forest where you are expected as early as 5.00 am to start your forest trail. In the afternoon we will opt to head out to the Canopy walk in the lush montane forest of Nyungwe or to stay at the lodge to recuperate from the chimp trekking depending on your preference.

Transfer from Nyungwe forest to Volcanoes national after morning breakfast. Check into your accommodation facility for dinner and overnight.

Have yourself an early breakfast, after which transfer to the park headquarters. Later embark on the amazing gorilla tracking adventure. After trekking, you will be escorted back to your lodge; have lunch and opt for a visit to the twin lakes; Burera and Ruhondo or take a walk in the community before dinner and overnight at your accommodation facility.

Wake up with memories of the previous day in the jungle with mountain gorillas as you enjoy a relaxed morning. After breakfast, start your journey to Kigali. Drop-off at your Kigali accommodation facility.
