Drive from Kigali to your Volcanoes-area lodge. Afternoon free for rest, spa, or a gentle community walk. Hydrate and turn in early—gorilla day asks for fresh legs.
Tour overview
Over three days you pair Rwanda’s headline mountain gorilla trek with a second morning among the park’s lively golden monkeys—a smart double for primate enthusiasts who want more forest time without adding Akagera or Nyungwe on this trip. Two lodge nights keep both park mornings early and calm.
Budget a gorilla permit (around USD 1,500 FNR) plus a separate golden monkey permit (RDB fee—confirm current price). Golden monkeys move quickly through bamboo; guides help you stay with feeding parties without rushing the experience into a checklist.
