A 3-day photo safari in Rwanda from Kigali, with gorilla trekking and golden monkey trekking in Volcanoes National Park and an optional visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial before your flight.
This itinerary is specifically designed for a photo safari featuring gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park and golden monkey trekking.
This short trip is planned as a photo safari, with a gorilla trek and a golden monkey trek in Volcanoes National Park. Both primates are photographed in the same park, so there is no long drive between the two treks, and the hour with the gorillas is set aside for watching and taking photographs. Starting and ending at Kigali International Airport makes it easy to add to a longer trip or a business visit.
As soon as you touch down at Kigali International Airport your guide will warmly greet you and accompany you to your hotel. Take some time to unwind and get ready for the adventure of gorilla trekking that lies ahead.
After an early morning meal embark on a tour to Volcanoes National Park, which is home to the endangered mountain gorillas. When you arrive attend a briefing by park authorities before commencing your gorilla trekking experience. Accompanied by trackers and armed rangers, venture into the forests in search of a gorilla family.
Once you encounter the gorillas, savor an hour observing and capturing photographs of them amidst their surroundings. Seize moments, witness behaviors and marvel at the sheer beauty of these gentle giants. The thrill of being so close to these creatures is an experience that will stay with you forever.
On your final day seize the opportunity to trek through Volcanoes National Park again and photograph another remarkable primate species: the golden monkeys. After enjoying breakfast return to the park for a golden monkey trekking experience.
These playful and charming monkeys make for a great subject to capture in your photographs.
Afterward you’ll head back to your lodge for lunch before driving to Kigali. If you have time you can explore the city, including a visit to the Kigali Genocide Memorial Center where you can learn about Rwanda’s history and resilience. Finally you’ll be taken to Kigali International Airport for your departure flight, marking the end of your 3-day Rwanda gorilla trekking photo safari.
