Safari in details
Day 1: Pickup, Kigali city tour and transfer to Volcanoes national park
From the airport, hotel or residence, our expert driver-guide will happily meet and welcome you for this two-day ultimate safari. Briefing and a glass of juice will be the first things, before having a brief city tour around one of the cleanest cities in Africa, Kigali city.
You will have the opportunity of visiting the local markets for souvenirs and other missing items, and then the genocide memorial to learn about genocide, and pay tribute to Over 250,000 innocent Tutsi and Hutu people who lost their lives during the ethnic conflict. Thereafter, you will hit the road to Volcanoes national park, a 2-3 hours’ scenic drive through a scenic route marked with undulating hills, and green Vegetation.
You will arrive at the lodge in or around the park late in the evening and proceed with refreshment, dinner, and overnight.
Day 2: Morning gorilla trekking and Musanze caves
The fact that pre-trekking briefing starts at approximately 8:30 am, you will start your day very early in the morning with an energy-giving cup of coffee, and then head to the Park headquarters for document verification and Briefing. Together with the rest of the trekkers, the park rangers will explain to trekking rules and allocate members to the different habituated Gorilla families of your choice.
The quest starts as soon as the briefing is done, with the rangers helping in the search, which will start from where the creatures were last seen. It can last for about 1-6 hours, depending on one’s trekking speed and the direction these creatures have taken, plus one extra hour for photography, sightseeing, and questions-answers session.
Interestingly, expect to encounter and discover several primate species, plant species, reptile species, and mammals, as well as the sights and sound of your relatives, the mountain gorillas. After the reunion, you will withdraw from the Jungle for Lunch and then head for lunch before deciding to either visit the unique Musanze caves or drive back to Kigali depending on time of your flight or to your residence.
