This morning, head for a Golden Monkey trekking experience that takes place in Volcanoes National Park at 7:00 a.m. Meet the park officials who will give you a short briefing before you start your trek. These rare species are also listed as endangered – and Volcanoes National Park currently has two habituated golden monkeys’ troops that are available for visiting in the park, both of which make about 50 members. Trekking golden monkeys and gorillas is a similar experience – in a small group of no more than eight people, and you can spend one hour with the monkeys once you find them. After, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before driving to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, via Cyanika border post. Clear customs and drive to your booked accommodation, for dinner and overnight stay.

Early morning cup of coffee, then prepare for the briefing from the park official and thereafter drive to the trekking starting point. Have a short briefing before starting your trek in search of the shy mountain gorilla. After meeting the gorillas, you can sit around these great apes for a whole hour gazing into their big round eyes. The gorilla tracking experience takes half or a whole day depending on the movement of these primates. You will return to the meeting point, meet your guide, and drive back to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
