Arrival day in Kigali and overnight.

Following your arrival in the Rwandan capital, you will be met by a company representative who will escort you through the mandatory Covid testing, Immigration, and assist with the collecting of your luggage. Hereafter you will be transported to your overnight accommodation. A driver with a signboard will be waiting for you as soon as you step outside of the airport building. Upon arrival at the hotel, all travelers will have to self-isolate until the return of their arriving COVID-19 test result. All meals will be brought to your room to avoid anyone walking around the hotel unnecessarily. Covid test results will be available on your phone and normally comes through within 8 – 12 hours.

Road transfer to the Volcanoes National Park.

Following breakfast in your room and after receiving your Covid-19 test result, we will all meet in the hotel lobby. From here we will transfer to the Genocide Memorial, a must-see tribute to an estimated 1,000,000 people who lost their lives and off course to the family members, who were left behind. Not only will this experience answer any questions you may have on what took place over that dark period in Rwanda’s past, but will also make you more so appreciate where this beautiful little country finds itself today. From here we will enjoy a very scenic two-and-a-half-hour road transfer to the Volcanoes National Park. The road winds its way through lush green valleys and over hills of neatly cultivated farmland, with glimpses of the Nyabarongo River.

We will arrive at our accommodation for lunch and an afternoon of exploring this beautiful area.

Volcanoes National Park 

Over next three days, we will start our mornings at the National Park headquarters. All Park activities begin with a briefing where after we will drive to the starting point of our treks. Over the next three days we will experience two gorilla treks and one golden monkey trek.

Following each days primate experience and lunch back at the lodge, the afternoon will be spent doing a bit of post processing of a small selection of images from each participant.

Following our 2^nd Gorilla trek on the final full day at Five Volcanoes, and lunch back at the lodge, we will take a short drive over to the town of Musanze where we will do our second Covid-19 PCR test to clear all for departure from Rwanda and easy access back into your country of origin. Hereafter we will enjoy an afternoon of sightseeing.

Departure Day

Following a very well deserved sleep-in and leisurely breakfast, we shall depart for Kigali. We will do lunch at one of Rwanda’s more popular restaurants. Hereafter, we will transfer back to the Airport for our international flights.
