Day 2: Golden monkey trekking

Wake up early and take your breakfast before transferring to the headquarters in Kinigi. The briefing starts at 7:30 and ends at 8:00am. You will then be driven to the beginning location, which is at the base of the volcano, along with other trackers. The five volcanoes stand in all directions amid a lush, green forest, creating a stunning landscape. You are allowed to spend one hour with them. During this time, visitors can observe the monkeys as they play, groom each other, and search for food. Visitors are not allowed to touch the monkeys or feed them, as this can be harmful to their health.

The trek to see the golden monkeys usually lasts between 1 to 4 hours, depending on the location of the troop. The trek is led by an experienced guide who is familiar with the area and knows where to find the golden monkeys. After having this amazing experience will drive back to Kigali
