Keep in mind that the distance from Kigali to volcanoes takes about 2 hours and you need to catch time for gorilla trekking thus there is a need to do everything in hurry. Well, upon park arrival, proceed to the briefing ground to join other trekkers. After briefing, hire a porter if necessary and set off on a forest walk in search of habituated mountain gorillas in their natural habitats. Gorilla trekking is usually considered a full day activity but once you find gorillas, you will spend only 1 hour in their presence viewing them closely, taking photographs and many more then exit the forest and be returned to your lodge for late lunch in case you never packed your lunch box. You may then choose to enjoy option evening activities like guided nature walk to twin lakes of Burela and Ruhondo, cultural tour to Ibyiwacu cultural village or spend your evening relaxed at the balcony of your lodge.
