Rwanda has changed a lot since the genocide in 1994 and it would be a great opportunity to see this transformation first hand. The city is neat and well organized compared to some African capitals. Afterwards you will visit one of the Kigali genocide memorial Centre to learn about what really happened during the 1994 Rwanda genocide. After the genocide site visit, you will go visit the former presidential palace and some local markets where you can buy some local crafts. Lunch will be in Kigali before embarking on the 2-3 hours’ journey to the volcanoes national park.
Rwanda is a mountainous country with a great tropical climate that is not too cold or too hot. The rains occur twice a year resulting in green vegetation throughout the year. You will see for yourself why Rwanda is often referred to as “The land of a thousand hills”.

Day 2: Gorilla tracking and Gorilla guardians Village.
Wake up early and after breakfast go for briefing on gorilla trekking at the park offices in Kinigi. All gorilla trackers must attend the briefing in order to know what to expect during gorilla tracking. There are 10 habituated Rwanda Gorilla Families that are available for tracking. You will be assigned one group based on your overall fitness among other factors. Mountain gorilla trekking is a challenging but a worthwhile experience.
You could spend the whole day observing the youngsters rolling and playing close to the adults. Some of the primates may try to come close to you out of curiosity. Stay calm and do not make sudden movements. Always follow the instructions of the head guide. After the one hour watching and taking photos of the gorilla family, you will head back to the starting point where our guide will take you back to the lodge for lunch and rest. In the evening you will be taken to enjoy local dances and tales of the people of Rwanda at the Iby’iwacu cultural village near the volcanoes national park.
