Once the briefing is complete, you'll be guided by local experts and armed park rangers as you venture into the dense forest in search of the endangered mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park. Upon encountering these majestic creatures, you’ll have an hour to observe them in their natural habitat, capturing unforgettable moments and photos. Afterward, you'll trek back to the park’s headquarters, where your driver will be waiting to return you to the lodge. In the evening, you have the option to visit the Iby’wacu Cultural Village to immerse yourself in Rwandan culture, or simply relax at the park. If you opt for the cultural tour, ensure you're back at the lodge in time for dinner.
