Day-by-Day


Day 1 Pick Up and Drive to Volcanoes National Park

After a safe landing at Kigali International Airport, you will be greeted by a friendly driver-guide who will take you to and from the gorilla trek. Uganda is home to the world's largest population of mountain gorillas.


If time allows, you start with a city tour with a visit to the Genocide Memorial. You will continue to Volcanoes National Park, with breaks for lunch and refreshments. You'll arrive at the park just before dusk. Enjoy a delectable dinner and then retire for the night. The golden monkey trekking begins quite early in the morning, so you should keep to your schedule and be well-rested for the trek.

Day 3 Gorilla Trekking and then Transfer to Kigali Airport

Your gorilla-trekking experience will begin after a hearty breakfast. You will then drive to the park headquarters where you will meet the park's ranger guide who will first take you through a briefing about the dos and don'ts while tracking. He will then lead you to the forest to trek these endangered mountain gorillas in this part of Uganda. This will definitely be a great experience.


Mountain-gorilla trekking lasts from an hour to eight hours, depending on where the gorilla family will be spotted because they keep moving to look for food. However, you will not be bored as you will be enjoying the calls of the birds and watching over primates as you search for the endangered mountain gorillas. After a successful trek, embark on your journey to Kigali to reach the airport in time for your connecting flight.

Is the Serengeti Worth Visiting

Every now and then a destination becomes so famous that people start questioning whether it can possibly live up to its own reputation. Serengeti National Park is one of those places. You have seen the photographs, watched the documentaries, read the articles, and somewhere in the back of your mind a small but persistent voice is asking whether the reality can genuinely match the legend. Whether all those wildebeest, all those lion prides, all that extraordinary golden savannah stretching to the horizon is truly as breathtaking in person as it looks on a screen. The short answer is yes. The longer answer is that the Serengeti does not just live up to its reputation it quietly exceeds it in ways that no photograph or documentary has ever managed to fully capture, and here is exactly why.
