Its fun to wake up for another park highlight –the Golden monkey trekking an activity which starts at 7.00am like the Gorilla trek. The briefing process is the same though the trekking hours differ. Sometimes the Golden monkey trekkers return earlier than other Gorilla trackers especially those who trek the hardest Gorilla family. Overnight at your lodge.

Day 4&5: Karisimbi Hike

Climbing Mt Karisimbi is a strenuous yet very rewarding and the 2 days hike very marvelous. Good health is required to be able to hike through the slipperly slopes to the summit. Its recommended to hire at least two porters to help you just in case you find difficulties on the way. Besides it’s a big hassle to hike with your bag and luggage which makes them more useful. However you required to book advance 3 weeks before the trek.
