After early breakfast, drive to the park for a briefing
on the gorilla sanctuary. The whole day is dedicated to
trekking, as it's unpredictable how many hours it may take
to reach a group of gorillas. It's advisable to carry packed
lunch, which can be arranged with your hotel the night before.
For conservation purposes, time spent with the gorillas
is only one hour and it is advisable to carry only non-flash
cameras. After seeing the gorillas, return to your hotel
for relaxation, dinner and overnight.

After an early breakfast you go for a morning game drive
for a close encounter with animals such as zebras, several
antelope species and giraffes. Later drive out of the park,
stopping for lunch at Kigali town and continuing to Nyungwe
Forest. This forest boasts many primate species like the
wild chimpanzees, red-tailed monkeys, black and white colobus
monkeys and many others. Therefore a night walk this evening
in search of the shy forest dwellers is rewarding and worthwhile.
Dinner and overnight at the hotel.
