Your driver guide will pick you up from your hotel at 6:30 a.m. and transfer you to the Volcanoes National Park headquarters. Here, a ranger will provide a briefing on the rules and regulations for golden monkey tracking. You will then set off into the jungle to search for these shy yet delightful primates. The golden monkey trek can take anywhere from one to six hours, similar to gorilla trekking, but is generally less demanding. While still strenuous, the experience is highly rewarding. Once you locate the golden monkeys, you will have one hour to take as many photos as you wish.

Day 3: Gorilla Trekking and transfer back to Rwanda
Begin your day with an early morning breakfast, then prepare for a briefing by Uganda Wildlife Authority officials before heading into the jungle to search for the elusive mountain gorillas and observe their behavior in their natural habitat. After encountering the gorillas, you will have the unique opportunity to spend an hour with these magnificent creatures, gazing into their large, expressive eyes. A gorilla safari requires a reasonable level of fitness, along with sturdy walking shoes, packed food and water, insect repellent, sunscreen, and a hat. The tracking experience can last either half a day or a full day, depending on the movement of the gorillas. This once-in-a-lifetime experience will leave you with lasting memories. After the trek, you will return to Rwanda, and upon arrival, you will either be transferred to your hotel or to the airport for your departure flight.
