Golden Monkey Trek to Kigali
Following breakfast, go back to park offices for a golden monkey trek, which offers something different from the previous day. These monkeys are social and playful, often acting out back-and-forth games in the trees. Your group of up to eight spends an hour with the monkeys as they move between branches. Two habituated troops live in the park, with one group containing around 80 to 100 individuals. In the afternoon, drive back to Kigali for your departure flight.
