Extend Your 7-Day Zambia Adventure Safari Adventure with the 5 Days Rwanda Golden Monkeys & Bwindi Gorilla Trekking Safari

The 5 Days Rwanda Golden Monkeys & Bwindi Gorilla Trekking Safari combines Rwanda’s vibrant capital, Volcanoes National Park‘s rare golden monkeys and Uganda’s extraordinary mountain gorillas into one compact East African adventure. The journey begins in Kigali, where travelers can discover the city’s cultural and historical character before continuing north toward the volcanic landscapes of Rwanda’s Musanze region.

From there, the 5 Days Rwanda Golden Monkeys & Bwindi Gorilla Trekking Safari crosses into southwestern Uganda through the Cyanika border and continues to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The transition from Rwanda’s volcanic countryside to Uganda’s misty rainforest creates a spectacular change of scenery.

Golden monkey tracking provides the first major wildlife experience.
