7 Days Rwanda Kenya Gorilla Trekking and Wildlife Adventure

Upon arrival at Kigali airport, you met your safari driver guide, who will brief you shortly and later transfer you to the booked accommodation in Musanze which is roughly a 2 hours’ drive to you booked in Musanze. Dinner and overnight stay at the lodge at Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel (The Manor). Meal Plan: Dinner

Finally, here comes the day, to get face to face with the gentle gorillas. After your breakfast at the lodge, your guide will transfer you to the park for gorilla trekking. The trek can last for 2 – 6 hours, depending on the gorilla movements, and your fitness level. This is always looked at as a one or two life time moment, where you come face to face with the gorillas.

The experience is magical, I have no words to describe it. An hour will be allocated for you, and later return to the lodge for lunch. Afternoon head for cultural experience at Iby Iwacu. Dinner and overnight stay at the lodge at Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel (The Manor). Meal Plan: Full board

Just like the gorilla trekking experience, the same applies to golden monkey trekking though no so hectic like gorilla trekking. You will later return for lunch.

If you travel during these months, your guide will dedicate time to trailing the migrating herds both in the savannah and along the banks of the Crocodile infested Mara River.
