Later, embark on a cultural tour of the region before settling in for the night.

After an early breakfast, you'll head to the park for a gorilla trekking briefing. With your guide and armed rangers, you'll trek through the forest to find a gorilla family. Spend a magical hour observing these majestic creatures in their natural habitat before returning to the lodge for dinner and rest.

Start the day with a hearty breakfast before setting out to climb Mount Karisimbi, Rwanda’s highest peak at 4,705 metres.
