ITINERARY

DAY 1: KIGALI

Arrival at KGL airport, VIP meet & greet - representatives of Virunga aviation will meet guests next to terminal entry & assist clients with clearing all immigration procedures. After all airport formalities, our driver will meet you at the airport exit and whisk you to the hotel for a good rest. If you are a fan of history, we can also arrange that you go and visit the historically famous Hôtel des Mille Collines.

DAY 2: NYUNGWE NATIONAL PARK

Ready to hit the road? Today's journey will take 8 hours to reach Nyungwe National Park. We know that 8 hours on the road is a long time but trust us, once you start admiring the beauty of Rwanda this ride will fly-by! En-route, we’re going to have a stop at King's Palace. Lunch will be arranged at E-bis Resto. Once we reach our final destination it will be time for well-earned relaxation!

DAY 3: NYUNGWE NATIONAL PARK

Today is going to be a very active day! We will wake up for an early breakfast, take our snacks and go for an adventure to see the most kindred monkeys - chimpanzees. There are only 400 chimpanzees in this country, so we cannot guarantee that you will see these monkeys for sure, but our guide will do everything possible so that you can find them and take beautiful photos. Lunch will be served at your lodge. After we have lunch and some rest—we will go to explore the forest in a very extraordinary way! We will go for a canopy walk at an altitude of 50 m! It is the tallest and longest canopy in East Africa. Close up, we will see various monkeys, as well as the most incredible birds that live in this area.

DAY 4: NYUNGWE NATIONAL PARK

We'll wake up early for another day which we're going to spend outdoors – waterfall hike, nature walk & colobus monkey tracking! Lunch will be served at your lodge. For those activities, you must be fit and very positive about all-day hiking adventures! We know this all might sound like too much, but trust us, it is definitely worth it!

DAY 5: VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK

On Day 5 we move to the Volcanoes National Park, which is named after the chain of dormant volcanoes that make up the Virunga Mountains, which are separated by Congo, Uganda, and Rwanda. They are the home to endangered mountain gorillas and the Dian Fossey research base. This National Park comes alive with the cries of over 200 species of colorful birds and the chatter of rare golden monkeys. A walk-through lush forest of bamboo, open meadows, swamps, and wasteland is sure to revitalize your soul and senses. Transfer time will take 7 hours with the stop for lunch at Lake Kivu Serena lodge.

DAY 6: VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK

This day will be remembered for a lifetime: we will take advantage of the only opportunity in our life to go to the rainforest in the mountains and spend some time with the famous "gorillas in the fog". After an early breakfast, we will be given a preliminary trekking briefing before being assigned to groups and walking in the woods. There is no guess as to how long or short our hike will be, as it depends on the gorillas and the weather, so you can stay in the park from one hour to six or more. No matter how long the hike is, the reward at the end is the same: a magical hour of watching these magnificent animals as they relax, play, and eat in the heart of the jungle. At the end of the hike, we will return to our lodge for dinner and relaxation. For those who still have strength and energy, if desired, we can organize a tour of the village or a hike to the waterfall with a guide.

DAY 7: VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK

This morning we'll start with tracking golden monkeys - they stay at Volcanoes National Park but in a bamboo forest. Those habitats are very playful & active, so guests will be able to take great videos & photos together with them. Lunch will be arranged at 5 Volcanoes Boutique Hotel, and thereafter we'll head back to Kigali for your flight back home.
