Kigali and Volcanoes gorillas in 5 days (4 nights)

5 days · Rwanda

One night in Kigali, then about two and a half hours by road north to Musanze, beside Volcanoes National Park, for three nights. One morning goes to a gorilla trek with an hour alongside a habituated family. The other full day can go to golden monkey tracking, a hike or a cultural visit nearby. On the last morning the trip drives back to Kigali for the flight out. Distances in Rwanda are short, so little of the trip goes to travel.

The route, stop by stop

1. Kigali, Rwanda · 1 night

Arrive by fly — Arrive at Kigali International Airport

A night in the capital absorbs the flight and leaves time to see the city before heading north.

2. Musanze, Rwanda · 3 nights

Arrive by drive — About 2.5 hours by road from Kigali

Three nights near the park give time for a gorilla trek and a second day of hiking or primate tracking without rushing.
