Arrive in Kigali not later than 1pm, transfer to Mgahinga Gorilla National Park in a 4 hour’s drive across the border of Rwanda and Uganda.
At the lodge engage in the Batwa Heritage Experience which is a storytelling demonstration of how this indigenous group of people used to live in the forest before they were evicted in 1993. After this, visit the Gahinga Batwa community village to continue the story and learn a thing or 2 about how they live now having been integrated into the community,

Have early breakfast and proceed to the park office for a briefing before the tracking begins. Gorilla tracking usually starts at the base of Mt. Muhavura, 30 minutes away from the lodge.
Gorilla tracking may take between 2 and 8 hours depending on the gorilla activities and movements. The gorilla tracking activity is strenuous and requires physical fitness. You will hike up and down the steep terrain in this dense forest but the sight of these great apes is worth the hike. You will be allowed an hour to view the gorillas before you exit the forest.
