4-Day Gorilla & Golden Monkey Trekking Experience

The 4-Day Gorilla & Golden Monkey Trekking Experience is a richer Volcanoes National Park adventure combining Rwanda’s famous mountain gorilla trek with tracking the rare and playful golden monkey, plus time for a cultural or conservation experience. It’s the perfect trip for primate lovers who want more than gorillas alone.

You’ll travel in a private 4×4 safari vehicle with a professional English-speaking driver-guide, staying three nights in comfortable accommodation near the park. Both the gorilla permit (US$1,500) and the golden monkey permit are included — the two biggest cost items — which we secure on your behalf.

Safari highlights

The trip pairs two unforgettable primate encounters: a magical hour with a mountain gorilla family, and tracking troops of golden monkeys — a rare, striking species found only in the bamboo forests of the Virungas. There’s also time for a moving community and culture experience, and optional add-ons like the Dian Fossey hike. See our Rwanda gorilla trekking, golden monkey trekking, and Volcanoes National Park guides for more.
