An hour with a gorilla family.
A private trek on the slopes of the Virunga volcanoes, and a lodge at the edge of the forest.
On the slopes of the Virunga volcanoes, the forest is quiet until it isn't.
Permits are capped for each gorilla family, and a private trek gives your group its own family for the hour you spend with them: a mother, a baby, a silverback watching from the bamboo.
Singita Kwitonda Lodge sits on the edge of Volcanoes National Park, its suites looking out to the volcanoes. Between treks there are golden monkeys in the bamboo, the trail to Dian Fossey's grave, and long evenings by the fire.
The shape of the journey.
Your advisor shapes the real one around your family, your dates and the season.
- Day 1
Kigali to the volcanoes
Met on arrival in Kigali; a drive of about two and a half hours, or a short helicopter flight, to the lodge.
- Day 2
The gorillas
A dawn briefing at Kinigi, then the private trek and an hour with the family. An afternoon in the lodge garden.
- Day 3
Golden monkeys
A gentler trek into the bamboo, or the trail to Dian Fossey's grave.
- Day 4
A second trek
Another family, or a morning with the lodge's farm and the community nearby.
- Day 5
Onward
Fly on to the Okavango Delta, or home.
