5 Days Primates and Birding Safaris
Day 1:
Leave Kigali and drive southwest to Nyungwe Forest National Park. Nyungwe Forest National Park is located south of Lake Kivu on the border with Burundi. Along the way, make stops at places of interest including local markets, the traditional palace of Rwanda’s Former King in Nyanza. Drive past green fields of tea scattered across the hillsides and the small wooden houses unique to the areas surrounding Nyungwe Forest. Overnight: Gisakura Guest House
Day 2:
Nyungwe’s biodiversity is astonishing by African standards and is one of the most endemic species-rich areas in all of Africa.
Opt for strenuous treks to see chimpanzees, or more relaxed guided walks in search of some tropical birdlife, from regal sunbirds to strange weavers, and a variety of primates.
Primates such as the L’hoest’s monkey and the grey-cheeked mangabeys are often sighted. The birds are spectacular, though as in most tropical forests, you’ll have to look hard for them. Giant hornbills, great blue turacos and red-breasted sparrowhawks are amongst the specials, of which 24 are endemic to this section of the Rift Valley.
Overnight: Gisakura Guest House
Day 3:
Have breakfast in the morning to return to Kigali. On your back to Kigali you will make a stop over in Butare, visit the Botanical Gardens and a cultural museum. You will have lunch in Kigali City and thereafter drive north to Kinigi via Ruhengeri. Enjoy the rolling hills for which Rwanda is well known.
Overnight: Gorilla Nest Hotel
Day 4:
Up relatively early, transfer to Kinigi Park Headquarters to track gorillas in Parc National des Volcans. Gorilla tracking through the forest, hills and swamps can be tough, arduous and tiring, sometimes taking up to 8 hours in the forest. But coming face to face with the great primates is well worth the effort.
Overnight: Gorilla Nest Hotel
Day 5:
After breakfast, you will leave for Kigali. Time permitting; go for a tour of the city including shopping. Transfer to airport for your flight.
