Day 1
Met on arrival at airport and transfer
to Kigali. Briefing on your safari. After lunch, depart for PNV at 2pm.
The journey north goes through the beautiful terraced hillsides that
characterise much of Rwanda’s landscape, gradually climbing to the base
of the awesome Virunga volcanoes, sometimes with as many as five peaks
visible. O/N: Mountain Gorilla View Lodge .
Day 2
Go gorilla tracking in Parc National
des Volcans (subject to permit availability at the time of booking).
Tracking the gorillas through the light mountain forest on the slopes of
the Virungas is a magical experience. If you are lucky you can get to
the gorillas, spend an hour with them, and be back at the base in time
for a late lunch! Some gorilla families however are more elusive and
tracking can take a full day, especially when it is wet and muddy. O/N:
Mountain Gorilla View Lodge/ La Palme Hotel .
