Day 1 - Transfer to the Virunga National Park(Congo)

After your breakfast at your Kigali, Ruhengeri or Gisenyi hotels, meet with your driver guide for a briefing of the 2 days gorilla trek in the Virunga National Park - Congo. Drive towards Gisenyi / Goma border crossing point and check in at the immigration center for your visa processing and immunisation office to present your Yellow fever card. (Yellow fever, Tetanus and Polio vaccines are mandatory).

After crossing into Congo, we shall head to our lodge for a nights dinner and accommodation as we prepare for the next days gorilla trek in Congo. The best recommended accommodation to set off for the trek is Bukima tented camp as it has the starting point for gorilla tracking in the virunga mountains. However, Ihusi hotel on Lake Kivu in Goma and Mikeno lodge in the virungas would be other alternatives but you would have to drive 2+hrs to Bukima for gorilla tracking.
