Hotel or airport pick-up in Kigali after breakfast (or later for afternoon arrivals). Drive northwest into banana country and then the cooler Volcanoes foothills. Check in near Musanze or Kinigi, stretch your legs, and—if energy remains—join a short community stroll. Dinner at the lodge; early night before the trek.

Early breakfast, then transfer to Kinigi for registration and briefing. Trek your assigned habituated family and spend one hour in their presence. After certificates, return to the lodge for a shower and lunch—or stop in Musanze—before the afternoon drive back to Kigali for hotel or airport drop-off.
Trail times vary wildly; we never promise a “short” trek. What we do promise is private guiding, water in the car, and flexible drop-off timing when flights cooperate.
