Your 5-day safari journey will begin when you arrive at Kigali International Airport and are greeted warmly by a driver-guide from Maranatha Tours & Travel. The next step is to go southwest through Kigali in the direction of Nyungwe Forest National Park. 
 
A unique introduction to Rwanda’s stunning surroundings, the about six-hour trip is gratifying and picturesque, going through the country’s distinctive rolling green hills, lush farms, and beautiful vistas of the Virunga Volcanoes. 

Proceed to the Kanyanchu Visitor Information Center for registration and a pre-trek briefing following an early breakfast. After that, you will be tasked with tracking a habituated chimpanzee colony in Nyungwe Forest. 
Depending on how the chimps move, the walk to find them may take two to six hours. Upon discovery, guests are granted a rigorous one-hour interaction with the chimpanzees from the time of initial observation. 
 
Take in breathtaking aerial vistas of Nyungwe Forest during an exhilarating canopy hike in the afternoon. The experience is traversing a suspended bridge that is 60 meters above the forest floor and offers expansive views of the surrounding local communities and park canopy. 
Dinner and an overnight stay at your lodge mark the end of the day. 

Check out of the accommodation after breakfast, then start your picturesque trip to Volcanoes National Park. You will be able to take in Rwanda’s stunning scenery during a number of stops along the route for lunch, beverages, and photos.  
After arriving, have dinner and spend the night at your lodge to get ready for the trip the following day. 

Begin the day with an early morning breakfast before transferring to the Kinigi Park Headquarters for registration and a pre-trek briefing. At 8:00 AM, you join a small group of up to seven fellow trekkers and set off into the dense forest in search of your assigned gorilla family. 

An armed ranger guide will accompany you throughout the trek, ensuring safety as you hike to and from the gorillas. Once located, you will spend a strictly regulated one hour observing the gorillas up close, learning about their remarkably human-like behaviors and social interactions. 

After the encounter, hike back to the trailhead where you meet your driver and transfer to the lodge for refreshments and relaxation. This experience also offers meaningful insight into the traditions, customs, and beliefs of Rwanda’s local communities, making the day both enriching and unforgettable. 

Today is the last day of your five-day journey. Transfer to Volcanoes National Park for an exhilarating golden monkey trekking excursion following an early breakfast. 
See different primate species, a variety of birds, and lush forest vegetation as you trek through the jungle in pursuit of the lively golden monkeys. You can only spend an hour interacting with the monkeys after you first encounter them, just like on other primate excursions.  
Your Rwanda primates safari will come to an unforgettable end when you start your drive back to Kigali after the hike, just in time for your departure flight.
