Golden Monkey Trekking Experience – Volcanoes National Park

Meet the Playful Golden Monkey

Venture into the misty bamboo forests of Volcanoes National Park and track one of Africa's most charismatic and endangered primates — the golden monkey. Smaller and more acrobatic than their gorilla neighbours, these vivid, flame-coloured primates leap through bamboo canopies in spectacular fashion, offering a truly magical wildlife encounter.

What's Included

• Golden monkey trekking permit
• Expert naturalist guide and park rangers
• 1 night luxury lodge accommodation near the park
• All meals and park transfers
• Kigali airport pick-up and drop-off

Itinerary Highlights

• Day 2: Early morning golden monkey trek — up to 1 hour with the troop, afternoon at leisure or optional village visit before return to Kigali

A perfect add-on to your gorilla trekking adventure or as a standalone wildlife experience.
