Day 6: Get Ready for an Exclusive Chimpanzee Trekking in Nyungwe Forest National Park

While you are lost in witnessing the first chimpanzee troop, another one will appear right in front of you from a different direction and this time, they scamper, half-crawling, and half-walking towards a fig tree. If you haven’t met Chimpanzees before, this tour will make you do so in a unique way. Spot chimpanzees for the first time, and keep staring at their facial features. Their eyes wander and their faces sketch through the emotions, so there is much to read in frowns and smiles. Do not miss to hear a baboon troop shout their protest. Observe the troop carefully and you will realize that they actually have a clear evident social structure.

Day 7: Beautiful Gorilla Trekking in Volcanoes National Park

N gorilla trekking tour is complete without the actual gorillas in it. So, without worrying about the gorilla trekking Rwanda prices, get started to watch some real gorillas right in front of you in a budget that fits your pocket. On day four, land to the Volcanoes National Park which is home to Hundreds of gorillas. Seeing them live is a whole new feeling. The silverback's mouth will stretch into a smile, at least you will think it is a smile, but there is enough in the expression to suggest that the gorilla isn't revealing everything in one go. Let your guide take you to their places and delve into their daily routine.

Day 8: Tracking the Rare Golden Monkey

If spotting them for the first time, you may not find them real at a first glance. From the back, an orange mane shimmers as it catches shards of light. However, from the front, you will see find them as a pair of orange eyes and a thick beard puffs out like an inflated balloon. As a whole, they are perfect to stare upon. Spot them swaying from one branch to another. Be careful, they may not be as great as gorillas, but they do are too quick to steal food from your hands.
