You will need to remain in your hotel for 24-hours while waiting for the test results to come back.

Kigali on your own. Kigali has been beautifully rebuilt over the past 20 years in the land of a thousand hills. As the capital of Rwanda, Kigali is a bustling centre with tree-lined streets and both modern and traditional architecture. High-rises and colourful houses dot the lush green landscape of valleys and peaks. The city centre stands on one of these peaks and the latest additions to the skyline include BCDI Tower and Kigali City Tower which houses the city’s premier cinemas

After breakfast on Day 3, go for a town tour of Kigali city to the Gisozi Genocide Memorial and local markets, before embarking on a 2-hour drive to Ruhengeri where you will stay at the foothills of the Virunga Mountains.

In the early morning of Day 4, go for your gorilla trek in Volcanoes National Park. If you are not too tired after your trek, you can go for a nature walk to view the twin lakes of Burera and Ruhondo. Volcanoes National Park is home to five of the eight volcanoes of the Virunga Mountains and is known as a haven for mountain gorillas. The park is fascinating in that its altitude ranges from about 2,500m to 4,500m (the peak of Karisimbi), sheltering bamboo forests and some of the last remaining afro-montane forest habitats on the planet. After briefing from the senior park ranger, you will commence your memorable gorilla tracking tour which normally takes 2 to 6 hours in the jungle. You will be allowed to stay in the presence of the gorillas for a maximum of 1 full hour.
