2 days primate tours in Rwanda

Start historical-minded exploration of Kigali with visits to landmarks from colonial, post-colonial, independence era, genocide and the current times by visiting numerous places in Kigali, Kigali Genocide memorial site, Kandt Museum, Belgian camp, presidential palace etc. Drive to Nyamata in the afternoon to visit the reconciliation village, Nyamata and Ntarama genocide churches. Evening transfer Musanze and the Volcanoes National Park Overnight at La Palme Hotel.

After breakfast we transfer to the park. After completing our park formalities we are embark on a once in a lifetime experience of tracking mountain gorillas. Once you spot them you are allowed to spend an hour watching your closest long lost cousin. This is perhaps one of the most breathtaking wildlife experiences on earth!!! You get so close to these awesome giant primates. You stare at each other blankly not knowing who to break the long silence first. Tracking the gorillas through the light mountain forest on the slopes of the Virunga is a magical experience. Be back at the base in time for a late lunch! Some gorilla families however are more elusive and tracking can take a full day, especially when it is wet and muddy. Dinner and overnight La Palme Hotel
