Rwanda Volcanoes National Park Golden Monkey Trek
Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda · Rwanda
Moderate5 daysAfrica~£1,500 est.
Overview
Track golden monkeys in the bamboo forests of Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park — a species restricted to the Virunga volcano chain and one of the rarest primates in Africa. The trek takes 1-3 hours through dense bamboo at 2,500-3,000 m altitude. The same park also offers mountain gorilla permits and guided ascents of the Virunga volcanoes including Bisoke (3,711 m) with its perfectly circular crater lake. Combining gorilla, golden monkey, and volcano summit in a 5-day visit is the classic Rwanda highland programme.
