Nyungwe to Volcanoes

Rwanda chimpanzee and golden monkey trek

The 6-Day Primate Trekking Safari runs 6 days in a Land Cruiser from Kigali to Nyungwe Forest, Lake Kivu and Volcanoes National Park. You track chimpanzees in Nyungwe, cruise Lake Kivu and track golden monkeys in the volcanoes.

This trip does not include mountain gorilla trekking. Verdoro’s gorilla trips are in Uganda, and you can ask us what else we can plan in Rwanda.

The drier seasons, June to September and December to February, often make the forest trails easier, though treks run year round and rain is possible in Nyungwe. Our guides also arrange visits to the Kigali Genocide Memorial. Akagera National Park is not on this trip, so ask us if you want it.
