Then you will have lunch and later drive North of Kigali to volcanoes national park.
Have your breakfast and after, transfer to the park headquarters for the briefing at exactly 8:00, you will then need to carry packed lunch since you will spend most of the time in the jungle searching for the mountain gorillas. The time you will spend tracking the gorillas is unpredictable and it may take as few as only 2 hours on a good day yet it may even take you 8 hours before you meet these great apes.

Wake up early in the morning after your breakfast, and go for Golden Monkey Trekking after you will head to Kigali city which makes this the end of your gorilla trekking safari in Rwanda. you will either be dropped at your hotel in Kigali or at the airport to catch your departure flight.
