We will pick you up at 4:30am from your hotel in Kigali. We will find the golden monkeys easily since most live just below the volcanic mountain and can be seen swinging from the bamboo trees in the forest. Golden monkeys have short, fur-covered tails that they use to sit on. You will have an hour to observe them and learn about their characteristics from the experienced guide who will travel with you.
Tracking golden monkeys starts with a briefing which takes place at park offices at around 7:30am this means we usually pick up our guests from their Hotel or Resident and depart from Kigali early morning 4:30am to the Volcanoes National Park. After the briefing, tourists may decide to hire a porter to help with extra luggage before moving to the starting point. Tracking golden monkeys takes a shorter time (about an hour) and is less strenuous than gorilla trekking, later back to starting point with a transfer back to Kigali city later in afternoon at your hotel or Airport.
