Day 2: Gorilla tracking in Volcanoes and visiting the twin lakes
Eat a substantial meal early in the morning, and then your driving guide will transport you to the park’s headquarters for beefing. Start your exciting journey of tracking gorillas later. The trek takes 1 to 6 hours, and trekkers are allowed to spend 1 hour with the gorillas. It is incredibly enjoyable to watch them play, protect one another, and feed, among other things. Hikers will be able to see additional wildlife while trekking, such as golden monkeys, elephants, and birds.
Return to the Lodge for lunch and relaxation. Late afternoon you can visit the twin lakes of Ruhondo and Burera and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. Retire for dinner and overnight.
