Searching for the Golden Monkeys of Rwanda

Rwanda is now for its silver back gorillas but did you know that they also have a very rare and endangered species of Monkey? Today, we are going deep into the Rwandan bamboo forest to find the rare golden monkeys.

Our journey started at 4am back in Kigali where we met our guide for the day who took us from Rwanda's capital city to the Volcanoes National Park. After a two and a half hour drive up and down the mountains, we arrived to get our trekking brief from ranger Jerome. Tracey also got her first cup of Rwandan coffee which she LOVED!

From there, we drove up to a small village where our golden monkey trekking started. The first few kilometres where along a small village with a lot of curious and extremely friendly kids before finally entering the forest.

After some more trekking, we started to hear the golden monkeys before eventually seeing them all around us jumping from tree to tree and running around us on the ground. What a fun and special wildlife experience this was.

To add an extra local experience, we asked our guide to forget about the normal tourist spot he bring everyone for lunch and instead drive us to a local restaurant where we could try to authentic Rwandan food. This was the perfect way to end this experience before heading back to our hotel in Kigali.

For this day trip, we use Hermosa Life Tours and Travels.
