A 3 day private safari that starts and finishes
in Kigali (1 PNV gorilla tracking
permit is included in the cost)
This safari takes you to Parc National des Volcans
(PNV) in the Virunga
volcanoes. It offers an opportunity to track gorillas
twice. Seeing some of
the remaining 700 mountain gorillas is a fantastic
experience. PNV has five
habituated gorilla families living in the afro-montane
forests on the
southern slopes of the Virunga volcanoes.
In addition to gorilla tracking, PNV offers a number
of other activities.
These activities include: climbing the Visoke volcano;
visiting the remains
of the Dian Fossey Karisoke Centre, her grave, and
the graves of the
gorillas which she studied. The more leisurely activities
include: taking a
short walk to the edge of the forest to see the playful
families of
endangered golden monkeys, or going for walks around
the picturesque
villages near Volcanoes Virunga Lodge.
On safari clients stay 2 nights at Volcanoes Virunga
Lodge/Gorilla Nest
Hotel.
An extra night and an extra gorilla pemit can be added
by paying a supplement at the time of booking. |

and fly by helicopter to
Ruhengeri. Drive to Virunga Lodge, (allow about
45 minutes). O/N:
Volcanoes Virunga Lodge/Gorilla Nest Hotel (FB)
Day 2
Go gorilla tracking in Parc National des
Volcans. Tracking the gorillas through the lush
forested slopes of the Virungas is a magical experience.
If you are lucky
you can get to the gorillas, spend an hour with
them, and 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. O/N: Volcanoes Virunga Lodge/Gorilla Nest

Visit golden monkeys in the morning. Transfer
to Ruhengeri and fly
back to Kanombe airport. Take your flight back
