Kigali Serena Hotel

Start early with a track through the steep and muddy forest. Try to catch up with the gorillas, sometimes it can take a full day if it's wet and mucky. Observe quietly as they feed on the lush foliage and tend to each other with human-like mannerisms. Return in time for a late lunch and enjoy a relaxing afternoon.

Virunga Lodge   

Opt for a second trek (pre-purchase of the gorilla permit is required at the time of booking). Alternatively, choose from a variety of optional excursions on offer by the lodge. Stroll through the forest to spot the lively golden monkeys or trek in the footsteps of the Late activist Dain Fossey on a full-day hike to visit her gravesite and the remains of her Karisoke Research Center. You can Visit Lake Kivu, take a guided walk to Lake Bulera or visit the Imbabazi Orphanage and have tea or lunch with the staff and volunteers.
