Track primates in Rwanda and spot other wildlife species on our 5 Days Rwanda Wildlife and Primates Tour.
Day 1: Transfer to Nyungwe Forest National Park.
You will be picked up from your hotel in Kigali and embark on your journey to Nyungwe forest national park with lunch en route and arriving in the afternoon. Check-in at Nyungwe Top View Hill Hotel for your dinner and accommodation.
Day 2: Chimpanzee Tracking & Canopy Walk.
Enjoy breakfast and go for briefing before entering the forest, searching for the active and playful fellows in Nyungwe forest. The Chimpanzees are the easy to spot, as they jump from one tree to another, chattering and laughing. Chimp tracking usually takes about 3 hours. You will then return to your accommodation for lunch.
After lunch, you will go on a walking trail that will take you to the Canopy Walk at Uwinka; a swing bridge 50 meters in length that is suspended from large trees. You will be able to see the amazing rainforest with a bird’s eye view, spotting wildlife moving about below you. Before nightfall, you will return to the hotel for dinner at Nyungwe Top View Hill Hotelas above.
Day 3: Transfer to Volcanoes National Park.
You will enjoy breakfast at sunrise and embark on your journey to Volcanoes national park in Musanze with lunch en route and occasional stoppages for sightseeing along the journey.
Arrive in Musanze late afternoon and enjoy the evening at leisure as you prepare for the next day’s adventure. Dinner and overnight stay at Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel
Day 4: Gorilla Trekking Rwanda
Wake up at first light, take a hot cup of coffee to warm you up, and get in the mood of possibly the most exciting wildlife expedition; gorilla trekking. The safari guide will escort you to the park tourism office to check your gorilla trekking preparedness, and clear all formalities, and the ranger guides will then lead you into the thick forests.
Gorilla trekking is far more than meeting with the gorillas as you have nature all around you to interact with which the ranger guides will gladly interpret for you. Using all their forests and gorilla trek experiences, they will locate the feeding areas of the gorilla family you are trekking and you have approximately an hour to take pictures, learn basic information about them, and admire them.
You will then descend the steep volcanic mountains to your trailhead and reunite with your guide. You will get back to the hotel for lunch, relax or embark on a guided village walk visiting real domestic homesteads and learning about the day-to-day life of the people that live around the park. Dinner and overnight stay at Five Volcanoes Boutique Hotel as above.
Day 5: Transfer to Kigali & Departure.
Have breakfast at leisure and depart Musanze heading to Kigali.
Enjoy stunning scenic views and landscapes of Rwanda countryside before reaching Kigali city in the afternoon.
You will make a final tour of the city to you buy African art craft souvenir items and get the last of your Rwanda tour. The driver will escort you to Kigali International airport in time for your outbound flight.
