Four days in the foothills with permits arranged for both a gorilla family and a golden monkey troop. The trekking days are deliberately separated so you are not walking hard two mornings in a row.
In between there is the Dian Fossey site, the twin lakes and the villages around Musanze. Accommodation is in the foothills, minutes from the park headquarters.
Arrival in Kigali
Airport welcome and the drive north, with time to settle in at your lodge.
Gorilla trekking
Early briefing, then the trek to your allocated gorilla family and the hour with them.
Golden monkeys and Musanze
Morning golden monkey trek in the bamboo, then an afternoon at the twin lakes, a coffee cooperative or the Musanze caves.
Return to Kigali
A relaxed drive back to Kigali, with stops agreed with your guide.
Both a gorilla permit and a golden monkey permit are required, each subject to availability. We confirm official fees and dates before booking.
