Dian Fossey Hike Volcanoes National Park 1 Day Tour begins from Kigali and ends in Kigali Rwanda. The actual trek is a half day adventure and takes about  2.5 hours to climb up, 1 hour at the site and just over 1.5 hours coming down during the wet season (in the dry season you could do it faster).

The 5 km hike up the mountain includes possibilities of seeing forest elephants, forest buffaloes, lots of birds as you pass through various vegetation zones.

In 1967, Dian Fossey arrived in Rwanda to study and protect her beloved Mountain Gorillas from poachers found in the Virunga ranges of Rwanda commonly known as Volcanoes national park.

Dian Fossey 1 Day Hike is about Diane Fossey who is remembered in the history of Rwanda for founding the Karisoke Research Center which was her residence until the time of her violent death in 1985.

The camp site stands at an altitude of around 3000 meters (over 9000 feet) and was abandoned during the unrest of the 1990’s. Karisoke scientific base is located in the saddle area between two volcanoes; Mt Visoke and Mt Karisimbi (from which the name Karisoke is derived).

All that remains today is the graveyard where several of Dian Fossey’s favorite gorillas were buried. Dian Fossey is also buried near the graves of her beloved gorillas. Dian Fossey was an American naturalist who earned recognition as the foremost authority on the mountain gorilla, is already well known.

Shortly before her violent murder in 1985, she published her own account of her 13 years of work with the gorillas in Rwanda. She has already been the subject of several biographical studies, and she was portrayed by Sigourney Weaver in the highly fictionalized 1988 movie ''Gorillas in the Mist.''

Although Rwanda has made strides in providing its youth with access to education, about 70% of Rwandans are still unable to enroll in secondary school.

Rwanda as a country has a population of 12.5 million and out of these there are over there are 2.8 million orphans and vulnerable children in Rwanda today.  Many cannot think beyond their next meal, let alone dream about the future.

Kigali Golden Monkey Trekking Mgahinga Gorilla Park 1 Day Tour: Leave Kigali city behind as you embark on a full-day safari to Mgahinga Gorilla Park – the closest Golden Monkey Trekking site in Uganda from Kigali – Rwanda.

Mgahinga Gorilla Park in the Southwest Corner of Uganda on the border with Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Park is Uganda’s smallest park, yet the best place for Golden Monkey Trekking.

It is the only park in Uganda where you can Trek Golden Monkeys and there is an estimate of around 3000 to 4000 Golden Monkeys. Golden monkeys live in big numbers where by a group has a range of 60-80 members.

One of the features of this park is that unlike other parks in Rwanda, there are no crowds. Getting to Mgahinga Gorilla Park from Kigali is 3 to 4 hours drive (including border crossing time).

Guests track golden monkeys and stay with them for a period of 4 hours depending on where they nested the previous night and how far it is from the beginning point.

The session of Golden Monkey Tracking in Mgahinga gorilla National Park begins with briefing from the park rangers early morning at the park head quarters at 0700 Hours.

Trekkers are put in different groups for the tracking which starts at round 8:00am. The golden monkeys are easier to spot considering that they tend to stay in bamboo sections of the forest not far from the base because they enjoy eating the young bamboo shoots and always move in large numbers.

A maximum number of 8 guests can track a golden monkey family per day. Bookings for Golden Monkey Tracking in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park can be done through African Spice Safaris.

Kigali Golden Monkey Trekking Mgahinga Gorilla Park 1 Day Tour Itinerary

0400 Hours: This morning we take our breakfast boxes + lunch boxes from our hotel in Kigali and deart by road to Ruhengeri – a 2 hour drive. After crossing the Cyanika border (border processes can take maximum 30 minutes) we proceed to Kisoro Uganda another 20 minutes drive.

Proceed to Mgahinga Gorilla National park located in South West Uganda about 10 km south of Kisoro town. Maximum time from Kigali to Kisoro is about 4 hours.

0800 Hours: Golden monkey tracking briefing (on the dos and don’ts of tracking the golden monkeys) starts at the Park headquarters. Its a good idea to take with you a daypack, a snack such as dried fruit, a large bottle water and binoculars for bird watching. 

After the briefing, we begin the trek up into the forest along what is referred to as the Gahinga Trail. Hiking through the forests to sight the golden monkeys is not so strenuous like gorilla trekking because golden monkeys live in lower areas, so tourists do not track for more than 3 hours.

When we encounter the golden monkey family, we spend about an hour with them (taking photographs and observe their behavior). There is no minimum number of tourists who track each group and age limit is 12 years.

After the Golden monkey tracking, we will return to Kigali Rwanda via Cyanika border and connect to Ruhengeri and finally to Kigali arriving in the evening. Drop off at your hotel or at Kigali International airport.

Golden Monkey Tracking Volcanoes National Park 1 Day Trip Safari; Have a day to spare in Kigali? Opt to explore Volcanoes National Park on a golden monkey expedition in the company of an experienced African Spice Safaris guide.

Spend a half a day in Volcanoes National Park – Rwanda tracking the Golden Monkeys. The golden monkey has a prominent golden fur coat and is an endangered species.

Given the scientific name of Cercopithecus mitis kandti, the golden monkey is considered to be a subspecies of the Sykes monkey. They are exclusive to the Virunga mountain range.

The only places where one can trek to see them up close include Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and Rwanda. These monkeys live in bamboo forests at the higher elevations of the Virunga mountains, as well as at the foot of Sabyinyo Mountain.

There are two habituated troops with in volcanoes national park and the larger troop found in Sabyinyo has between 80 to 100 members and this one is the most visited troop.

There is always one session for golden monkey tracking per day and this takes place early in the morning in Volcanoes National Park. Here the visitors have to report at the headquarters by 0700 hours where they will meet the ranger guides for the briefing and then drive to the starting point of the trek.

Those who need porter assistance to carry photographic and other equipment can hire them at the base point of the trek. The drive takes only 15 minutes from the edge of the park.

Trekking golden monkeys and gorillas is a similar experience – in a small group of no more than 8 guests, and you can spend one hour with the monkeys once you find them. The time to spend in the jungle is not specific.

It can be as short as 30 minutes to several hours depending on the speed of movement for the monkeys. Most trackers are able to locate them as they hike along the trail, with in less than an hour.

When you near the monkeys, your guide will point them out in the trees and you can watch as they swing above, foraging for food. Golden monkeys are small in size around 15 Kilos, get their name from the long golden hair on their backs, and move around the bamboo forest like they are court jesters.

You will spend about an hour watching these fast-moving little creatures that live in social groups of up to 100 individuals and are very entertaining as they constantly swing through the bamboo or chase each other in circles all around you.

They’re also very pretty, with shiny reddish-gold backs that blend in perfectly with the golden bamboo. The two groups of habituated monkeys are getting more used to their human visitors.

So don't be surprised if they jump quite close, and be aware of standing directly underneath a group in the trees, as they can easily poop on you at times! After an hour in their company you will trek back to the park headquarters.Transfer back to Kigali city reaching in the afternoon.

The benefits of trekking for Gorillas in Uganda Bwindi Impenetrable Forest from Rwanda Kigali is that Gorilla Permits in Uganda cost 600 US Dollars compared to a permit in Rwanda which goes for 1,500 US Dollars. You save 900 US Dollars per permit alone.
