This morning you will head to Nyungwe National Park for a Chimpanzee Tracking. A guide will pick you up and explain what you can expect from today and what points of attention there are. The guides are experienced and this increases your chance of really seeing chimpanzees. Perhaps you recognise some features of yourself? The chimps and humans share 98% of their DNA!

Just as with your first trekking which you experienced yesterday, you are expected by the ranger for a short briefing. Here the most important information will be shared so that you are ready to start looking for the gorillas. The Kahuzi-Biega National Park is impressively large, so the experience of the rangers will increase the chance of finding these wonderful animals! It is going to be quite a long hike, so make sure that you are wearing comfortable feetwear!
After this long and thrilling day, you will proceed to your new accommodation in Rwanda.
