After an early breakfast, proceed to the park headquarters for briefing and preparation for trekking in Volcanoes National Park, where adventure and wonder await. You may choose between two unforgettable encounters: the legendary gorilla trekking, a soul-stirring journey through mist-covered forests to meet the gentle giants of the wild; or the lively golden monkey tracking, where playful troops leap through bamboo thickets with dazzling energy.
For those drawn to history and legacy, a visit to Dian Fossey’s grave offers a deeply moving tribute to the woman whose devotion safeguarded these forests and their inhabitants. Each experience is not just an excursion, but a story woven into the fabric of conservation, culture, and awe-inspiring nature.
After the unforgettable morning spent trekking through the misty forests to encounter the majestic mountain gorillas/golden monkeys, you will continue your journey into the heart of Rwanda’s traditions at Iby’Iwacu Cultural Village, where vibrant cultural performances, storytelling, and hands-on experiences await; here, the former poachers share the Rwandan cultural tradition through Intore warrior dances, drumming, and craft demonstrations. You will be prompted to participate, especially in the dance, banana beer brewing, or even step into the role of “King for a Day” in a reconstructed royal hut. This is a perfect way to crown the day, ending the second day of the 13 Days Gorilla Tracking, Masai Mara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater tour.
Wake up for an early breakfast, then drive to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park via the Cyanika Border Post into Uganda on this 13 Days Gorilla Tracking, Masai Mara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater tour.

The boat ride offers a tranquil escape, with panoramic views of rolling hills, terraced farmlands, and the mist-draped peaks of the Virunga. As the canoe gently cuts through the lake, guests may spot kingfishers darting across the water and local fishermen. The day will end with a retreat to the lodge.

One of the highlights of this 13 Days Gorilla Tracking, Masai Mara, Serengeti & Ngorongoro Crater tour. Today we will have a heavy breakfast, then go for a briefing at the park headquarters by 6:30 am. Head into the forest to track the magnificent mountain gorillas in their natural habitat with your packed lunch. Gorilla tracking is a more spectacular exercise where you get to spend about 1 hour with the gorillas; it can take anywhere from 2 to 7 hours depending on the movement of the gorillas. You will witness these animals as they interact, play, and care for one another. After the encounter, you will trek out of the ancient forest to the place where your driver will be waiting to transfer you to the lodge. Later, take a relaxed community walk to interact with the local people, learning about the way of life through their meals and traditional performances, which you will be invited to join, an act that blends you into the local culture.

The guide will drive to the landing site and get into a motorized canoe that you will glide on Lake Victoria to the wetland; you then transfer to a traditional paddled canoe that can only navigate the narrow papyrus channels, quietly as you absorb nature that feels like you are in the middle of nowhere- yet just behind the Entebbe Airport. Paddle through the channels in search of the search for the legendary shoe bill, which you will spot in the reeds, most often seen standing motionless while hunting lungfish. The calm waters, rich birdlife, shoebill, Malachite Kingfisher, Papyrus Gonolek, Blue-breasted Bee-eater, and water plants make it an exceptional tour.
