Day 2: Golden Monkey trekking in Volcanoes national park

Your driver guide will take you to the park’s briefing area after breakfast. The ranger guide assigned to your group will inform you about your time in the jungle looking for these golden monkeys.

Golden monkeys live in the Virunga areas of Uganda, Rwanda and DR Congo. They are quite active, usually seen foraging for food at the time of your visit suggesting you will accompany them as they eat. Occasionally they are spotted entering the nearby gardens for potatoes, but their all time delicacy is bamboo shoots.
