You will enjoy breakfast at the lodge before heading off for a 7am registration. Registration is a simple process where the park staff determines which group of gorillas you will visit. The park staff discusses your fitness level and advises you of the trekking times and conditions to the various groups based upon their location in the park the previous evening. There are a total of 88 gorilla permits available each day with a maximum of eight trekkers visiting any one group. The trek can be as short as 2 hours, or as long as 8-9 hours depending on the location of the gorilla family. No matter how long the trek we promise an amazing experience never to be forgotten. After the trek, rejoin your driver Guide for a transfer to your lodge for lunch. After lunch, depart from foothills of the volcanoes and drive south past coffee, tea and banana plantations on a scenic drive to Kigali, where you will be transferred to your hotel for the evening.
