Day 2: Visit gorillas for the first time and twin lakes tour (Burera and Ruhondo)

After this experience, head to the lodge for lunch followed by visiting the unique Rwandese culture that will entertain you through the traditional dances and music, story tales, and made crafts among others.

 

Day 4: Head back to Kigali and fly home

 

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast as you prepare to depart back home. The driver-guide will take you to Kigali on a lazy drive and this will take about 3 hours and be dropped at the airport which will mark the end of this 4 days gorilla tour in Rwanda.
