You will continue with your tour and see the new developments in Rwanda; the recovery has been incredible, a testament to humankind’s resilience.
Thereafter you will depart for the volcanoes National Park; the area (formerly called Ruhengeri) in the northwest part of Rwanda, the main base town for Gorilla trecking.

The rest of the afternoon will be spent at leisure
Today you will set off early after breakfast for the park headquarters where you will register for the gorilla trekking. Once you've been assigned a group and have had a briefing from your guide you will be driven to the trailhead where you will start the walk. Your trek will take anywhere from an hour to five hours to reach the gorillas - depending on which group you`ve been assigned. The terrain changes from farmland to bamboo forests, into stinging nettles and rainforest before you will find the gorillas. Trackers leave before the tourist groups to locate the gorilla groups so your guide should know where to take you, and once you`ve found the group you will have one hour with them. Make sure you take plenty of extra film as you`ll be surprised at how many photos you will want to take!

Meaning ‘endless plains’ in the language of the Maasai, this land of immense open spaces is home to literally millions of large herbivores, as well as the accompanying carnivores.

Masai Mara Game Reserve is expansive and perhaps the only region left in Kenya where the visitors may see animals in the same super-abundance as existed a century ago.
